A review by denisemar76
The Golden House by Salman Rushdie

5.0

Rushdie’s commentary on our recent political history is bitingly funny and brilliant. The ascendancy of the “green haired” Joker to the presidency is the backdrop to a Gatsby-like story of new beginnings, fabulous wealth, corruption, love, jealousy, fate, art, and all those big ideas typical of a Rushdie novel. Although the plot dragged a bit at the beginning, by the end, I was completely riveted to the story of the Golden family.
