A review by chahna
In the Castle of My Skin by George Lamming

4.0

Took me a long time to read it but it is understandable. It took me some 100 pages to even start getting interested in the story. It broke my heart. I am not a fan of how it is written but I cannot deny that it is beautiful writing. The issues the book deals with (colonization and social change) are issues I am deeply invested in and maybe that is why I felt so much anger towards the sheer injustice to people throughout the book.

Anyway, it was a good read. I am glad I read it.
