In the month of May Vintage released special editions of short stories in honor of Short Story Month. The selections have been great reads. Jhumpa Lahiri's story is no exception. Told from the perspective of a young girl as she adapts to life in America, it is a tale about how the expectations of past traditions run into conflict with living in a new world. The prose is tight and the characters are well written. Perfect read for those looking for substance in a short amount of time.
