About twelve pages in, I already felt my eyes watering. Good thing I was only in a public place like my work cafeteria! Among other things, Jhumpa Lahiri is so good at writing about the wonderful weirdness of being an immigrant.
Oh, and this book will also make you wanna call your parents.

Such an incredible, heartbreaking book. Have you read her other collection of short stories, The Interpreter of Maladies? One of my favorites.
Yes, love that collection as well as The Namesake--too bad the movie version was so disappointing.
