A review by kriziachloe
In Other Words by Jhumpa Lahiri

emotional inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

“in pieces and yet still present”

My first Jhumpa Lahiri book and boy it did not disappoint. Open, vulnerable, and intimate. Her thoughts transformed and expressed into words are just so so beautiful. The metaphors are delicate pieces and it is just lovely. I want to savor this art.

This book reminded me that I really am into reflective and emotional writing. Her story and journey — albeit not easy, with the Italian language has inspired me. I am always fascinated with words. and I want my words to come together and create my memoir in the future.

“But I think that the need to write always comes from desperation, along with hope”

Jhumpa Lahiri, you are truly a wonderful writer.

and so, I aspire to rebirth myself through writing, just like how you rebirth yourself through learning a new language. 

“Reality provided the seeds. I imagined the rest.”
