A review by analyticalchaos
Brother by David Chariandy

5.0

The prose of this book is simple and melodic. Chariandy is concise without being choppy.

I couldn't put this book down and read it all in one sitting. It's heartfelt and realistic. Chariandy manages to illustrate complex family relationships in a nuanced, engaging way. He deftly weaves in themes of immigration, police brutality, and poverty to enhance our understanding of Michael's way of life.

I highly recommend this book. It achieves depths that many novels struggle to convey.
