Interpreter of Maladies

"Interpreter of Maladies" by Jhumpa Lahiri conveys several different Indian lives that are set in either America or India. These stories address anyone who has ever felt the emotional turmoil of being a foreigner or outsider. These confrontation of every day life for an Indian family who has to struggle with keeping to their traditions and transitioning into the new world they must learn to live in, shows us how one of life's influential experience is being a foreigner and how difficult it can be even if you're with your family. Lahiri's writing brings out the culture of India in her writing, and you can experience the true feeling of disappointment and exile. I recommend this book because it taught me a lot about the difficulties of making transitions in life.
