    The Third and Final Continent Similar to the narrator’s experiences‚ the lives of Lahiri and her parents not only span decades but also continents: Asia‚ Europe‚ and North America. Lahiri was born in England‚ raised in America‚ and traveled often to India during her childhood (Wcislo 2001). The story parallels closely with her family’s history: a father who worked as a librarian and a mother who meticulously adhered to Indian traditions regardless of where or how long she lived (Wcislo 2001).
