kiwikathleen 's review for:
A Suitable Boy
by Vikram Seth
This book had been on my to-read list since 2015 and though that's not the oldest on that list it felt time to read. But I have to say that when I took it off the hold-shelf at the library I nearly put it straight back into the Returns slot. I've had non-fiction books of this page length and weight, but never before have I read a novel that's 1349 pages long! Still, I knew I'd really enjoyed another by this author so I decided to give it a go. When I got home I figured out how many pages I had to read each day in order to get it back to the library by due date, and set to.
So, what did I think of it? I really enjoyed the characters and their unfolding stories. I didn't enjoy all the politics - I realise the political and social situations are integral to the storyline, but I would have preferred those segments to be much shorter. Still, a full and fascinating story in a dynamic time in India.
