[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny by Kiran Desai Two Indian young adults in the US, their parents set them up. So far I like it but I’ve just started. [/b] I recently finished The Night Watch by Sarah Waters and didn’t enjoy it. It is told in reverse chronological order and the first section is over long and dull. I LOVED Fingersmith so I kept at it, but I don’t recommend it. [/quote] I read it all and regretted it. The start is good, especially if you are a Jhabvala fan. But it’s too long and became a tortuous recitation of complaints by both lead characters about their miserable lives and how it was everyone else’s fault- especially colonialism. Wish I had spent the time on something else. Read the Anazon 1 star reviews. That’s exactly how I felt. Needed an editor badly at 700+ pages. Plus nothing is memorable except the complaining after having read it.[/quote]
