Very good. Not as coherent nor compelling compared to "The God of Small Things", but fantastic nonetheless. I found the shifts in perspective and the jumping around of the story extremely disorienting, and it was hard to see it as a cohesive project. This, I think, is highly intentional, in a story about those cast away from family, society and life. I love that this book tracks a trans woman with such boundless compassion. Tragic, hopeful, tragic, hopeful. Not written in absolutes, lives change drastically from one moment to the next. A meaningful insight into what it is to be human.
