A review by lagarrett
The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai

4.0

Bought this at a great second-hand bookstore: Mari's Books on Highway 101 in Yachats OR. Wonderful use of the English language. With an overlay of the rhythms of the subcontinent. Most of the stories revolve around culture - how being brought up in one culture and educated in another leaves you never really fitting in anywhere - and about how people want to fit in and the lengths they will go to in order to seem to fit in. Read the book for the language, the characters and the stories.
