A Burning by Megha Majumdar
challenging
sad
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
4.0
This book touches on a lot of socio-political topics in India (and really could apply to many other places as well). I think overall a very well done book. There were some parts I felt slowed down the pace a little bit but the characters were interesting and waiting to find out how Jivan's trial will go kept the story going. A bit heartbreaking as well.
Moderate: Body shaming, Classism, Death, Fire/Fire injury, Islamophobia, Religious bigotry, and Xenophobia
