katykelly 's review for:

The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai
3.0

Hard going. Glad I managed it but not one I enjoyed. Hard to keep the characters straight in my mind, and surely they could have put in a glossary of all the foreign words used?

Well written but depressing in parts, I don't know the history of the civil issues described which didn't help. Found Biju's immigrant storyline the most interesting, Sai/Gyan were just annoying.

I'll keep pursuing Man Booker books but this won't be one I ever read again.
