Brother by David Chariandy

5.0

This is an elegiac account of being a child of poor immigrants in small-town Ontario in mid-90s. It was very well-written, and the main point of the book wasn't immediately obvious. I think it is about how little poor people, especially immigrants, are misunderstood and mishandled by the wider society. It is a short and easy to read novella, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a sample of contemporary Canadian fiction.
