Interpreter of Maladies
(From NurseAmore, originally published 10.22.04)
Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri, is a Pullitzer prize winner, and is a great and easy read. It is a book of short stories about love, based between India and America. In each story, the love situation changes dramatically. One story is about a couple who loves each other, another is about the pride one man has about an elderly woman who rents a room to him, and another is about a women who cherishes biblical items found in a new house which she and her hudband bought. This book also helps you to understand the Indian culture in each unique story. Overall, I really enjoyed it, and will be passing it along for others to read.
Next on my list is The Namesake by the same author. (I’ll have to add it to my xmas wish list).
