reachant 's review for:

The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai
4.0

For most of the middle part of this book I thought I was going to give it 3 stars, but then it all came together in the end. The writing was quirky and beautifully structured, and the feelings and thoughts of the big I tire versus the personal experience were very well articulated. It just got a bit slow in the middle at times.

What I took away mostly is that my life has virtually no hardship, and that I live a pretty comfortable life, but the inequality of that can blow up in my face at any time, so I must remind myself to share what I have for the sake of peace, civility and social justice.
