Every Book by Jhumpa Lahiri

It seems a little absurd to write a list of an author's "complete works" when the author at hand has only written three books. But when the books are as good as these are -- three absolutely outstanding books -- it seems wrong not to write the list.

If you love great fiction, and somehow you haven't yet read at least one book by Jhumpa Lahiri... you owe it to yourself to try one of her books.

by Jhumpa Lahiri

Amazon says:
Eight stories -- longer and more emotionally complex than any she has yet written -- that take us from Cambridge and Seattle to India and Thailand. "Unaccustomed Earth" is rich with Lahiri's signature gifts: exquisite prose, emotional wisdom, and subtle renderings of the most intricate workings of the heart and mind. It is the masterful, dazzling work of a writer at the peak of her powers.

by Jhumpa Lahiri

Amazon says:
The Namesake is a finely wrought, deeply moving family drama that illuminates this acclaimed author's signature themes: the immigrant experience, the clash of cultures, the tangled ties between generations. With empathy and penetrating insight, Lahiri explores the expectations bestowed on us by our parents and the means by which we come to define who we are.

by Jhumpa Lahiri

Amazon says:
Navigating between the Indian traditions they've inherited and a baffling new world, the characters in Jhumpa Lahiri's elegant, touching stories seek love beyond the barriers of culture and generations. (Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2000)
