Ah - isn't that the way it always works? Don't realize how much you liked something until you no longer had it.

I’ve been meaning to read this one, I LOVED her debut one ‘Interpreter of Maladies’, but Namesake was OK, a bit slow. Considering this is also short stories, I am quite looking forward to it.

Norma, I'll be posting my response later today. Thanks!
