dili 's review for:
The Pleasure Seekers
by Tishani Doshi
I feel like giving this 2 but I'll give 3 stars. Perhaps I'm being a bit too harsh because I'm sure a lot of people will love this book.
It is beautifully written. Paragraphs and sentences unfold with wonderful comparisons and metaphors. It's very poetic and Doshi's history as a poet shows clearly. I was fortunate enough to very briefly meet her and I would say her writing mirrors her perfectly.
However I didn't feel a connection from one passage to the next. The flow is not smooth, it's intermittent from one vantage to the next. I felt a little more grounding would've balanced out the book as the almost purely emotional narrative feels almost fantastical.
I don't regret reading this book at all. I only wish there was a little more to the book, rather than a little less
