A review by ampersandinc
Brother by David Chariandy

4.0

David Chariandy's narrative of racial discrimination, poverty, and the immigrant experience was so powerful and visceral, I actually had to put it down for a bit toward the end of the novel. I'm glad that I picked it back up, despite knowing that the toughest chapters were yet to come. This is one of those books that should be required reading for all citizens to promote empathy and understanding in the face of divisive political rhetoric.
