The Inheritance of Loss
by Kiran Desai
This is one of those books that I felt guilty not enjoying, but I can't help it - I didn't like it at all. The author's writing is good, I suppose, but her style was too flowery for my liking. The narrative drags by while she goes into inane detail page after page. I didn't enjoy the characters either - they were poorly characterized and I never felt the sympathy for them that the author was aiming for. I sludged through the book because I felt obligated to give it a shot due to the critical acclaim it received, and though I don't regret the time I spent reading it, I wouldn't mind having it back either.
