★ 5The Amateur Marriage
Anne Tyler
A story about a marriage that shouldn’t have happened. A gorgeous recreation of Baltimore from 1940s to present-day. I recommended it to Aliza, and she left me multiple voice notes about how much she loved it.
Sense and Sensibility
Jane Austen
Austen on sisters — one all feeling, one all restraint. Not my top Austen, but still a delight.
Interpreter of Maladies
Jhumpa Lahiri
Lahiri's story collection about Indian and Indian American lives, longing and distance. Each one is quietly perfect.
