I think this is the last of Lahiri’s published work that I had left to read, and I’m so glad I followed through to finish this one. The setting—not only the time and place but also the politics—is excellent and one I had yet to encounter in a work of fiction. It served as a sort of main character. Most of all, I marvel at how Lahiri can make one love or hate her human characters so strongly!
Moderate: Violence
