A young couple's evenings change during a power outage. A girl in America watches a distant war on television with the family's dinner guest. A boy whose mother works late spends his afternoons in the care of a woman from Calcutta, while in the title story a tour guide drives an American family around the country their parents came from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLahiri's collection suits readers of literary short fiction and of immigrant and diaspora writing, and each story can be read on its own, which also suits classes and reading groups. Most of the distances in these stories are measured in kitchens and front doors rather than miles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJhumpa Lahiri won the Pulitzer Prize for this book in 2000.
