A review by freddie
The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai

1.0

Finally I'm done with this book. The inconsistency in style is jarring. At some points the prose is lush and descriptive, at certain places it becomes a listicle, at some other places it becomes a one-line-one-paragraph form a la a badly written Medium article. Then there's the stilted dialogue. If you have to rely on ALL CAPS and multiple exclamation/question marks (????!!!!) to convey the characters' emotions, your prose is not doing job - better FIRE IT!!!!!! This book would have also benefitted from being a longer work, because many important themes are crammed into this book and treated superficially.
