I really enjoyed The Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri. It's a collection of short stories about Indians, and most of the stories take place in Boston, but a few are in India. I love reading about different cultures. 
On another note, a friend gave me an Amazon gift card for my birthday this week, and I can't find anything on their website that sounds REALLY, REALLY good to read. Racing in the Rain sounds very sad (I don't want a sad book for my birthday book), and 24 Hours sounds scary (I find I don't enjoy books where children are at risk anymore. Yes, I know it's fiction, but still...)
I LOVED The Help. Finished it in 2 days! lol
Any suggestions for my gift card?
