A Burning
by Megha Majumdar
This book was not for me. I finished it less than a week ago and can barely remember what happened to even write this review. Maybe that’s because not a lot did happen!
In the book, a young Muslim girl in India, Jivan, is charged with plotting a terrorist attack on a train that killed 100+ people. The story is told from her perspective, as well as that of Lovely and PT Sir, both of whom knew her.
It felt like we were just going through the motions all book without anything of interest actually happening. The characters weren’t well-developed and, in turn, not particularly likable. They also barely interacted so the book felt choppy and all over the place.
Overall, this one wasn’t my cup of tea. It was too political for my liking and I found it boring. Not one I’d recommend.
