Jhumpa Lahirin romaani Kaima kertoo Bostonissa asuvasta Gangulin bengalilaisperheestä ja sen jäsenten vähittäisestä, eri tahtiin etenevästä kotiutumisesta Amerikkaan. Kirja alkaa vuodesta 1968, jolloin perheeseen syntyy poika. Hänestä tulee Gogol suuren venäläisen kirjailijan mukaan, jonka teos oli auttanut hänen isäänsä pelastumaan junaonnettomuudesta. Perheen isästä tulee MIT:n opettaja, he ostavat talon esikaupungista, oppivat paistamaan kiitospäiväkalkkunan, tosin omaan tapaan maustettuna, kietomaan villahuivin lumiukon kaulaan ja värjäämään ja piilottamaan keitettyjä munia pääsiäisenä. Mutta perheen äiti Ashima ei pääse irti tunteestaan, että muukalaisuus on kuin elinikäinen raskaus: lakkaamatonta odotusta, jatkuva taakka, alituinen tunne ettei kaikki ole kunnossa.Kuvatessaan runsasta kolmea vuosikymmentä Gangulien elämää Jhumpa Lahiri piirtää ihmeellisen taitavan ja lämpimän perhemuotokuvan, mutta samalla hän -- -- on luonut sinfonisen teoksen, esikoisromaanin joka on yhtä varmaotteinen ja kaunopuheinen kuin jonkun alan vanhan mestarin.
