A Burning by Megha Majumdar
3.0

too matter of fact of me. message was too general (poor people suffer most, islamophobia is rampant in India) didn't have anything *specific* to say and the narrative/writing wasn't compelling enough to make that unimportant.

I still thought it was good, and brutal, just need a bit more umph for me. I think you can tell a "matter of fact" story that can be terribly captivating, this just didn't do that for me.
