Three novels I loved: Afterlives, Whereabouts and Effi Briest

It is Christian who introduced me to Theodor Fontane. A year ago, we were walking through the places where Fontane described in his novel.  I finished heartbreaking Effi Briest while staring at foresty mountains in Trabzon.  I have fallen in love with Abdulrazak Gurnah and recently finished his Afterlives. Here is an accidental find. A short piece by Jhumpa Lahiri: Whereabouts
