This book by Kiran Desai has started very very interestingly though not very simple. Kiran Desai is the daughter of author Anita Desai. This book is her first book.
The book is about a young man Sampath whose mother was perpetually hungry when she was pregnant and it was the worst and driest summer. And his birth coincides with the first rain and also arrival of drought relief in their town Shakot by Sweden red cross.
Now he is a young man working in post office, ill treated by all, without much ambition and without any aim in life.But he becomes the center of attraction for the entire town when he sits on a guava tree and declines to come down.
But as my reading is progressing, I can only rate it as 3.5 stars.
