A review by carmenakamasi
The Cost of Living by Arundhati Roy

I honestly struggled a bit with rating this one. I read it out of scholastic-inspired interest, because the dam projects of India was a topic in my geography a-levels and I kinda grew fond of the subject of social injustice in India. Maybe I struggled with it, because of the way it was written. It felt very lyrical and more aspirational writing rather than the socio-political discussion I originally anticipated. And don't get me wrong, it still is a socio-political issue and writing, but the way it is packed in shockingly beautiful words was just not something I was prepared for. 
 
Definitely a recommend for everyone interested in the topics at hand.
