mazza57 's review for:

The Golden Gate by Vikram Seth

3.0

---

I have read and enjoyed other books by this author. I find I am conflicted by this one. I have to admit that creating a work in verse like this must have taken an immense amount of time. Certainly for the first hard I was immersed in its rhythm and toe narrative it was unwinding. However I found that I could not keep apace with the rhymes. I began to feel like they broke in the wrong places or I was missing something obvious.
