The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai
5.0

The author skillfully plays with words, turning even the most banal events into moments of profound consternation. I thoroughly enjoyed the plot development, set in a politically volatile town in the backdrop of the "stable, mighty" Kanchenjunga, with characters sharing their internal struggles and guilty pleasures. There are many quotable moments in the book, some that demands to be reread and remembered, and others make you put down the book to frantically search for a pen! I would definitely say this a must-read.
