The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai
4.0

Beautifully written, incredible imagery, but I was very disappointed with the last quarter of the book - it devolved into yet another, "misery in India" book and it seemed like some of it was just for shock value. Typical "war, pestilence, famine, greed, screwed-up-family" themes.
