It took me a while to get into this, but by the end I was quite invested.
Excellent debut.
This book was very powerful and certainly makes a statement about the current political climate in India. It did make me want to read more about the event this was based on. I also think there are interesting questions posed here about perspective and doing what you think is right vs. what will be the most advantageous to you.
