A collection of nine short stories. Most concern the experiences of Indians who have emigrated to America; a couple stories are set in India.
I liked it. Of course we now know several folks from India who are living in the U.S. I don't know that the stories have any overlap whatsoever with the experiences of folks we know, but in general it's useful to get this perspective. While the comparison is rather strained (because so much more of the heritage was in common), the book even made me think a bit about 19th-century Luxembourg emigrants to the U.S.
I think my favorite story was the last one - about the Bengali gentleman who took a job in the Boston area, rented a room with a (very) elderly lady, brought over an arranged-marriage wife, and settled in the Northeast U.S.
