The Inheritance of Loss
by Kiran Desai
This book has many of the elements of masterful storytelling. A story wrapped in a culture and context that makes it bigger than the individual characters and events. Language, dialogue, and imagery that is rich, surprising, evocative, and nuanced. Plot and structure that fills with anticipation and hurtles towards the novel's ending. Even study questions that accentuate the story and help you meditate on intentions and symbolism. Great Great Great
I'm some what new to "post-colonialism" literature but I love what this novel has to share about journeys, dislocation, and violences. There were times when I groaned and laughed out loud.

I love this book so far. The first twelve pages did not impress me too much. Now I am about eighty pages in, and the story telling is captivating and superb. A book that is hard to put down. It is a story about storytelling, the stories we tell of ourselves and others. So many narratives wrapped into one. Reading this book makes me enjoy reading and writing.
