Afternoon Reading - Unaccustomed Earth - Hell-Heaven

Nina Wadia reads Hell-Heaven from Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jhumpa Lahiri's collection exploring the dark secrets of family life, all linked by the Bengali immigrant experience. An India mother's lonely life in America is eased when she mees a charismatic young immigrant, who transports her back to a time before marriage. But before long, her secret infatuation comes close to devastating her family. Hell-Heaven begins in America, but, like all the stories in this remarkable series, spills back over generations and past memories to India, following new lives forged in the wake of loss.
