This book was outstanding! Very thought provoking, and impressively researched.

I really liked the very technical parts that went over some origins of words and/or their meanings lost in translation. The story itself was very captivating and I loved the various character's points of views on colonialism. Even the ones who shared viewpoints held them in various shades.

This had been on my ‘To Read' shelf for a while and was a fantastic birthday gift from my sister :)
