Lahiri's not a bad writer but I just never connected with any of her stories in any way.
That said, if the last story were the only one, I'd have given it 3 stars for the character of Mrs. Croft; and there are interesting parts in other selections. Like the little boy in "Sexy" or the tour guide in "Interpreter of Maladies."
I didn't waste my time reading any of these stories but I'm not going to be going out of my way to read anything else by this author.
