riley_reeves 's review for:

Anil's Ghost by Michael Ondaatje
3.75
challenging dark reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

A great read but towards the end it became clear that who I thought was a strong female protagonist was actually basically nothing more than a lens with which to view the two focal brothers of the story, which was disappointing.
