A Suitable Boy
by Vikram Seth
I loved the Bollywood like-flow of this book. It goes without saying that this book was designed for a Western audience, the book fails to garner the warmth of the reader, it almost has a shallowness despite the intricacies and depth of the characters essayed. I would have loved for Lata to grow old as an unmarried spinster rebelling against her Mom, or perhaps marry Kabir and elope away at a later stage. However, her marrying off the shoemaker is such an abrupt end to her illustrious character. Kabir trying harder, a more romantic, less realistic portrayal of characters considering the almost Bollywood like narrative would have made it a romance genre. I am to believe that therein lies the uniqueness of the book. It is well-layered with a pseudo-shallow appearance.
