The Inheritance of Loss

After hearing lots of disappointed buzz about this book, I set it aside for several weeks. Then, as the author reading approached, I picked it back up. I ended up liking it less than I'd initially hoped, but better than the buzz had indicated I might. The ending was perfect, one of the best endings I've ever read. And I'm so glad I went to the author reading in Houston. Both Desai and her mother, author Anita Desai, read from their works and then discussed their books. Both authors came across as lovely people and it's always nice to hear and meet lovely authors.
