It’s Featured Author Friday. Since it’s Jhumpa Lahiri’s birthday over the weekend on July 11th, I thought I’d feature one of the stories from her book, Unaccustomed Earth.

I love this book. And everyone I speak with loves this book. The stories are simply amazing. You can find “Hell-Heaven” on DailyLit (for free) here.

And in case you don’t believe me, check out what others are saying:

“Powerful….Profound….Haunting.”
—Los Angeles Times Book Review

“Ferociously good…acutely observed…These are unforgettable people, their stories unforgettably well told.”
—Elaina Richardson, O, The Oprah Magazine

“Stunning…”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Happy birthday, Jhumpa — and thanks for giving us the best gift ever!
