The Age of Reinvention reminded me of The Unbearable Lightness of Being only more dramatic than philosophical. It was as good, though, and the writing as crisp, eloquent, and impactful. 

The Age of Reinvention did not shy with its description of the social injustices suffered by the minorities and the role of the wealthy and powerful in inflicting them. It drew a concrete line between religions and how they manifest and creep into social status. The personal and social moral degradation had been believable and had some of the plot been not overly dramatic, this book would have been perfect.
