A Burning by Megha Majumdar

3.0

I binged the last 250 pages in one night... for that . Kinda preachy about how right-wing politics are Not Good in a way that's not really productive; spelling it out took away from what could have been characterization that spoke for itself. And I kinda don't like that everything fell in each character's lap? I know it's fiction and there had to be a story somehow but lol. I breezed through it after a weird slump though so that has to count for something. This pales in comparison to A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini if it was trying to do the same thing, but also I haven't read that one in 10 years so don't quote me.
