Endless loss. Portraying India as the land of boundless grief. Good writing, interesting story and characters, but everyone dies or is permanently scarred and damaged. The caste system, the British impact on the culture, the struggle to overcome the handicaps of being born into a land of petty egos and superstition, it’s all here. But I don’t know if I can take any more.
