So fucking good. Beautifully written, Lahiri tells a great story without getting in the way.
I'm not usually a fan of switching POVs and big time jumps in novels, but she handles it with grace. Making connections between times and people without slapping you in the face with it.

A great read. Emotionally affecting without getting maudlin.

Also it started out all man-centric, but oh, what a red herring that was.
