I just finished reading this book, "Unaccustomed Earth," and I really could not put it down. It is a collection of short stories but they each have a common thread and all involve characters from India. It's one of those books where you stop occasionally and ponder what one of the characters said and you relate so well..."oh, God, I get what she means..." You know that type of book. I handed it to my sister the other day and she called me thanking me profusely, saying she could not stop reading it either and had not read such beautiful writing in a long time.So, I must have her other books.
Her first book, "Interpreter of Maladies" won a Pulitzer Prize. You can read about her and that book here.
Her second book, "The Namesake," was made into a movie in 2007. I never saw it.
She also happens to be absolutely gorgeous.

The Namesake is one of my favorite books, and I hear it's a great movie, too. Now I've got to go read those others! And you're right, she is absolutely gorgeous!
