A review by djceebs
No Other World by Rahul Mehta

5.0

Few writers catch the sadness of the human soul like Mehta. His work weaves together the stories of a South Asian family lost in their identities: a young boy tinkering with his sexuality, a Mom torn between her duty and desire, an uncle unsteady by his wife’s death and his brothers distance. What’s the most captivating about this book is how Mehta charges the most mundane moments with tension, like the scene where Nishit cleans his glasses. Well worth a read.
