mastersal 's review for:
A Suitable Boy
by Vikram Seth
This book was my introduction to Mr Seth and I loved it. I probably read it too early but it was great to see India come across so authentically and not be treated as an exotic oddity. The length was great since there was time to meander and get to know this family slowly.
The Calcutta setting was important to my grandfather who gave this book to me. I started reading this book to get what he found so interesting and stayed for the book. Still one of my sharpest memories of the book was the affair mentioned in the book and the clandestine sex. Not graphic but I was scandalized. Ah youth!!
I have to go back and reeead this behemoth. Perhaps listen to the audio and see how this has held up.
