A review by itsgg
The Golden House by Salman Rushdie

4.0

This book was recommended to me by a friend who had mixed feelings about it, but I loved it. The prose is dense and somewhat pretentious, but I found the turns of phrase clever and a pleasure to read. The novel centers on the lives of a mysterious foreign millionaire and his three sons, with the narrator an observant neighbor. It's an interesting examination of the meaning of identity, wrapped around a twisting plot that kept me reading.
