A review by bookthia
The In-Between World of Vikram Lall by M.G. Vassanji

3.0

Giller Prize Winner 2003. This was a good book, and very good in some ways. But it lacked in some ways too. I enjoyed Vikram, getting to know him, getting to understand him... and I enjoyed learning about Kenya and some of its politics. It was an aspect of African history that I had no idea even existed, and so that was interesting to read about. Although the "big sin" that he was hiding from wasn't even brought up until the final few chapters... it just seemed "small" in comparison to all the other "sins" that were perhaps less "criminal" but not "less". I don't know if that makes sense to other readers or not.A good book but not great.
