Unaccustomed Earth book cover

Unaccustomed Earth

Jhumpa Lahiri

These emotionally complex and beautifully crafted stories take readers on journeys to India, Thailand, Cambridge, and Seattle, exploring the lives of family members, friends, and lovers. From a young mother’s bond with her father over garden care in the title story, to the guilt and anger of a sister trying to protect her family from her younger brother’s alcoholism in “Only Goodness,” Jhumpa Lahiri delivers lyrical prose and poignant insights into the human experience. In “Hema and Kaushik,” three linked stories span from Massachusetts to Rome, revealing twists of fate and the power of love and loss. Unaccustomed Earth is a masterpiece from an award-winning writer at her best.
