Picked this up for cheap at the used book store--- i love this author (have read a few things by her), but have never heard of let alone read this collection of short stories, so hooray!
From the back: "Beginning in America, and spilling back over memories and generations to India, "Unaccustomed Earth" explores the heart of family life and the immigrant experience. Eight luminous stories-- longer and richer than any Jhumpa Lahiri has yet written-- take us from America to Europe, India and Thailand as they follow new lives forged in the wake of loss."

Great collection of short stories--- the last three were threaded together as well--- quite tragic and lonely, but also hopeful and passionate. I love her writing, and this was another great example.
