Unaccustomed Earth - 7

This story is a big step back into the Bengali-American clash theme that Lahiri has made so prominent in her stories. But the change is narration to first person (sort of omnicient) was a significant change. This time though, the change is for the better I feel. This different point-of-view shows that Lahiri is able to write in many ways and convey the same sympathy for her characters also. While I don't necessarily prefer this story over the previous one's (but prefer it over Nobody's Business) it shows her great variety in writing ability.
