Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri (winner of the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for fiction) from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt ($2.99 Amazon US and iTunes iBooks, CDN$ 3.08 Amazon CA)

Quote:
Description

Navigating between the Indian traditions they've inherited and the baffling new world, the characters in Jhumpa Lahiri's elegant, touching stories seek love beyond the barriers of culture and generations.

In "A Temporary Matter," published in The New Yorker, a young Indian-American couple faces the heartbreak of a stillborn birth while their Boston neighborhood copes with a nightly blackout.

In the title story, an interpreter guides an American family through the India of their ancestors and hears an astonishing confession.

Lahiri writes with deft cultural insight reminiscent of Anita Desai and a nuanced depth that recalls Mavis Gallant. She is an important and powerful new voice.
