Rubbish. Éclat for Lahiri's work baffles me. She continues to create characters ("ABCD") who are bland, pretentious, self-loathing and pathetic. What else can one expect from a "detached observer" (her words). I wish she'd stop writing drab "it sucks to be brown" tales from an ambiguous South Asian perspective and focus on her clear interests: American (in her case, ALWAYS white) and/or European culture. She gets points for her descriptive literary techniques, though at times to her own detriment as she is often too wordy, dragging out paragraphs and chapters. I couldn't wait for the book to end.

Perhaps if I had read The Namesake prior to Unaccustome Earth, I would feel differently. However, I thought the latter to be superior, and the former to be more contrived in terms of some of the choices of the characters.
