Ep. 34: To Strike Root in New Soil - Why Jhumpa Lahiri’s "Unaccustomed Earth" remains my all-time favorite

I’m revisiting a book that has been a part of my life for over a decade: Unaccustomed Earth by Pulitzer Prize winner Jhumpa Lahiri.In this episode, I dive into the "Three-Generation Hypothesis" and the quiet, often painful friction of finding one’s place in a new land. From my own experience of feeling "solidified" yet "foreign" in Europe, to the strange relief of becoming invisible in California, I’m sharing the thoughts that have been echoing in my mind ever since. It’s a personal reflection on what we carry with us when we move between cultures, and what it truly means to find your "rock" on unaccustomed earth.Thank you so much for listening. I hope this episode resonate with your own journey!
