'One of the finest short story writers I've ever read' Amy Tan WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE WINNER OF THE PEN/HEMINGWAY AWARD WINNER OF THE NEW YORKER PRIZE FOR BEST FIRST BOOK

A scintillating collection of short stories, each a study of yearning and exile among Boston's Indian community. The first UK edition of a debut collection that did well in the States and is part of Harper Collins' Indian Summer promotion. "One of the finest short story writers I have ever read" Amy Tan.

Jhumpa Lahiri is the kind of writer who makes you want to grab the next person you see and say 'Read this!' She's a dazzling storyteller with a distinctive voice, an eye for nuance, an ear for irony.
