A widowed father travels out-of-state to visit his married daughter. They end up learning a little bit more about themselves and each other.
This first story drew me in, but it didn't grip me. The characters were well-drawn out, and I felt like I really understood them, but it just plodded on and then it was done. Overall, it was a pleasant story.
I haven't read this story collection by Lahiri. But I did read Interpreter of Maladies and pretty much enjoyed each story. I like how you divide these stories up into their own reviews!!
ReplyDeleteStaci ~ Thanks. :) I decided to set this collection aside. While I liked the story, I just didn't feel like continuing with it right now. I'll get back to it some time. I'll get another collection for the summer.
