What did you make of this? I had high hopes but thought it was a little light. I suppose it gave a perspective of India not usually acknowledged but hardly surprising. Liking Balram wasn't really difficult, despite what he did, if that was what the intention was? It certainly didn't cause a crisis of conscience for me, anyway.
Also read Flood by Stephen Baxter which I though could have made better use of the subject matter, but again not a bad book.
Next up I have Netherland by Joseph O'Neill which has some fairly divided reviews so???
Then I've promised myself I'll go back and try to finish 2666
