A review by annalx
The Golden House by Salman Rushdie

reflective medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix

4.5

Writing is good with strong imagery and symbols throughout the book. Makes one think about the malleability of identity and how everyone is reshaping themselves one way or another to escape their past and in a way the Goldens is a microcosm of America (in the book), with the downfall of the family happening while the country is falling into extremist, racism/sexism-fuelled chaos.
