This was a quiet book about the everyday lives of one family that somehow felt breezy and kept me turning pages. Lahiri’s reflective, detailed, atmospheric writing style is unique and captivating. I enjoyed the last couple chapters less than the book as a whole, but I’m eager to read more by Lahiri. If you loved A Place for Us or enjoy intergenerational family sagas, immigrant stories, or meandering narratives, you’ll probably like this.
