They even make love “with desperation they had forgetten” but will this temporary inconvenience restore their lives together. The nightly blackouts forces the couple to plan their dinner and activities. The local utility company announces that the electricity will be shut off from 7 until 8 for the next three evenings. They live in the same house but their intimacy is gone. “A Temporary Matter” tells the story of a couple whose marriage has been ruptured by a stillbirth. I read the first two and enjoyed her storytelling so much. All, in some way, bring the reader into the triumphs and emotional struggles of Indian diaspora in America. This book is a collection of nine short stories so beautifully written and captivating. I have decided to write professionally and I wanted to have the benefit of reading noted writers. I had many books in storage but decided to grab Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri mostly because I had read reviews of her work in the past. So I found in my storage container something to read on the bus to Baltimore to see my sister and her family. After three years away from America, I wanted to spend Thanksgiving eating some Turkey with cranberry sauce which I can’t seem to find in Morocco.
