I didn't get this book. It was about Mr Biswas' life which was full of anxiety, and despite him being inc edibly irresponsible he had a successful career.
It's very much a keeping up with the Jones's story with some dull details of house maintenance.
I'm sure I would appreciate it differently if I took the time to study it, but as a pastime read it was meh. And has racism - although I hadn't been aware of colonial India in Trinidad before this.

Savi is the real hero, at the end of things. The description of the trees at Green Vale will never leave me.
