The Konkans by Tony D'Souza
4.0
This novel doesn't have much of a traditional narrative arc, but more of an emotional arc instead. However, not a word of it felt dull or unimportant; it has the feel of a slice-of-life short story, but longer.
Occasionally I was distracted by wondering how the narrator came to know so much about events in his mother's and father's life, events that took place when the narrator was either very young or not yet born, but then I realized what an important element that was, as the novel is very much about family and the stories they share.
Overall quite enjoyable.
