Has anyone read The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai?

The blurb on the back reminds me of another book by another writer.

I'm going into the book and wanna know if anyone here has anything to share about it.

FINALLY you've reminded me of the name 🤣

This is the only book i was never able to finish 🤣 gave me a nauseating headache everytime i tried reading it.

It was so bloody slow that a tortoise would win a race against it -____-

I've stacked it away somewhere at home where I can't find it 😆


But don't let me deter you 😆 I am sure its an amazing book 🤣

@Ari, yeah the book is slow. I think I know why the author wanted to write such a book. Good that you've stacked it away! But I have to finish it, halfway through. I need to read it for the sake of completing it!

@Nickel8
I'll post a review. :P

Yeah plus she had a lot of time! The things written in the back cover reminds me of One Hundered years of Solitude! 😆
