Nectar in a Sieve by Kamala Markandaya

3.0

I read this with my 14 year old as his summer reading list book, and I was pleasantly surprised. Took a while to appreciate the author's sometimes-complicated writing style - reading it out loud helped for some reason. Some of the difficult scenes and sentences are so thoughtfully composed on the pages, I felt tears welling up inside. My son, a difficult critic to please, ended up agreeing it was a worthwhile read.
