Brother by David Chariandy

4.0

Beautifully written account by a pre-teen boy growing up in the shadow of his "father-figure" brother, his sole role model, protector and mentor. Brings out the pathos of migrant and disenfranchised communities left to fend for themselves in a world completely different from what is projected as the "normal". Gripping tale, even if the outcome can almost be guessed right in the beginning.
