A review by santhanakana
The Ministry of Utmost Happiness by Arundhati Roy

3.0

I loved the first third of the book and so I felt I was missing Anjum and her story for the rest of it. Also as someone who admittedly knows very little about the Kashmir violence, I felt I was getting whiplash from all the different characters and stories and political scenes. I desperately wanted to learn but I felt like I needed to have researched about the conflict beforehand to get a better grip of what was going on. 

The writing was beautiful tho but I really forced myself to finish this book. Not comparable to God of small things at all !
