The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai. Beautiful writing (sometimes bordering on contrived, but only sometimes), interesting characters, absorbing “larger” theme of cultural clashes.
Recommended…BUT please note there is not much plot resolution. So if this bothers you, you might want to skip it.
it frustrates me when there are questions left hanging at the end of a book. especially if i’m really engrossed in the characters. but if you give this a thumbs up, i’ll give it a go. :)
