The Golden Son by Shilpi Somaya Gowda
4.0
emotional medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character

 Gowda set the bar so high with The Shape of Family that I'm not sure anything else will surpass it. However, this was a solid book. Like her other books, a lot of the best moments are the smaller scenes in between. The plot in this book was solid, although it was sometimes hard to follow since there was so much going on. Some things dragged on a bit while others were solved without much real resolution. As always though, Gowda's characters felt so human that it was a very worthwhile read.
