I would also recommend "A Thousand Years of Good Prayers" by Yiyun Li. Especially "Immortality" and "Persimmons". Those two stuck in my mind - not just for the story, but also for the way they were told.
oops - just read the next post - looks like my recommendation is somewhat superfluous (sp?) :)
jen - thanks for recommending it - must read it very soon
