A review by bargainandbooks
Bramah and the Beggar Boy by Renée Sarojini Saklikar
4.0
I revived a copy of this book from the publisher and ZG Stories. So grateful.
The person who reached out to let me have a copy said it was unique and difficult to define. I completely agree and stand behind that 100%.
This was a very unique story written in lose poetry. While at times I found it could be difficult to follow I still was able to (usually) catch right back on to the story. I did find that the second half of the book was smoother to read and the story itself seemed to almost pickup/speed up. The one thing I struggled with was the lack of world building. I didn’t find there was a lot of visuals for the surroundings.
This was an ambitious project and focused on some big events (can’t e talk climate change, war, sickness… oooo) But for being so ambitious I still felt it was interesting and well done.
I actually love reading poetry and HATE reviewing it because of how subjective it can be
