Only Goodness
Only Goodness: Family Snapshots | Jhumpa Lahiri
3 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
Each story in this series offers a poignant glimpse of family life the ties we cling to; the ties we try to sever; and the ties that make us who we are. Told from a myriad of perspectives, from a dazzling array of some of the finest short story writers of our generation (including Jhumpa Lahiri, George Saunders, Jon McGregor and Elizabeth Gilbert), Family Snapshots gives us a fresh, empathetic and moving insight into the meaning of family. Only Goodness is taken from Jhumpa Lahiri's dazzling collection of stories, Unaccustomed Earth.

Such an amazing quote by Dickens #thinkpositivebepositive kindness matters so much right now.

I hope you are shown kindness today.

I had no knowledge of this author but love some of the things she has said or written looking at my research.

This quote sums up what reading does to readers. This is why I love reading, & even more so than films or TV. On films & tv you are watching someone else‘s interpretation of words, & not the effect those words have on you. We all interact so differently to books even with those who share reading interests. #AugustAuthors #JhumpaLahiri
