A review by amb3rlina
The Golden House by Salman Rushdie
3.0
Novel about the super rich Golden family in recent New York City, exploring the ideas of identity and truth.
What I loved:
The writing was lovely and the characters interesting, but I didn't feel connected to the narrative. There was so much heavy foreshadowing that I was expecting something more extraordinary. There were some lovely moments of truth and beauty.
What I learned:
Rushdie despises Trump as much as the rest of us. Although his appearance as a backdrop character felt forced.
