A review by jonfaith
The Golden Gate by Vikram Seth

4.0

As I finished this novel in verse I was left conflicted. I loved the language, the soaring images. I did not care for the characters. Personally I was hoping a mighty wave would’ve swept all of them away. Anticipating Franzen’s rank and file, Seth gives us a half dozen achievers who universally succeed in annoying me to no end. I just didn’t care but I read to the end, enjoying the Sunday trips to the coast and the fate of an ancient pickup.
