Unaccustomed Earth - 6

I feel that this story doesn't really belong with the rest of these. It's nothing like any of the other stories. The only Bengali culture appearances are all of Sang's suitors and when they mention how she rarely speaks Bengali adn when she does it sounds weird. Most of this story didn't even have to do with the Bengali characters Sang and Farouk - they were more like obstacles or plot points in the story about Paul. With the constant that has ben going along for almost the whole story, I don't understnad this one and I think if it was cut out of the book it wouldn't make that much of a difference. I don't know if Lahiri's stories are going to change all of a sudden in Part 2 but if they're like this I dont what to read them.
