The Ministry of Utmost Happiness

Difficult to review on the basis of not knowing enough about India to understand the references. This is quite a challenging, dense novel, nevertheless the warmth of the author shines through in the way the characters are depicted, and the language and poetry is beautiful. It is difficult at times, however, particularly in the way that the timeline jumps around and is from multiple perspectives. I think I probably should have devoted more time to reading it, but it was a quick read at the library and had to go back. I think it may be appreciated better a second time.
