  1. Kanishka

    This was a great find! So many stories, I loved the range of themes! I could get lost in this forever.

  2. Akshit Singh

    Varied and interesting. I discovered several new authors. The book gave me a great introduction to Italian short stories, I’ll look forward to more.

  3. Jhanak Balhara

    A mixed bag. Some stories were fantastic, showcasing Italian life beautifully. Others felt dull and predictable. Jhumpa Lahiri’s curation is commendable though.

  4. Shivansh Soni

    While some stories were captivating, others felt a bit lost in translation or simply didn’t grab my attention. Worth a read, but not a favorite.

  5. Rudra Pratap Singh

    A truly wonderful collection of short stories! I learned so much from this. The stories had a variety of themes.

  6. Rajbir Singh

    A great compilation of Italian voices. The stories offer glimpses into various aspects of Italian life. Some of the stories seemed too short though!

  7. Swikriti Toppo

    A delightful collection! Some stories resonated deeply, others less so, but overall a worthwhile exploration of Italian literature. A few translations felt a bit clunky.

  8. Aarsh Sanjaykumar Shah

    Enjoyed the diverse perspectives and the new translations. A solid collection for anyone interested in Italian culture. It’s a good addition to my bookshelf.

  9. Nishtha Gandotra

    I had high expectations, but felt underwhelmed. It was okay but I don’t think I would read it again. I expected more emotion from it.
