Book Review of Brick Lane

Brick Lane
Brick Lane
Author: Monica Ali
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 1


Was expecting much more from this book considering that it was supposed to be a bestseller. The story moves at a snail's pace and there is nothing new in the story and we have been used to reading stories of assimilation in different culture and women from patriarchal society becoming independent due to exposure to new culture and circumstances. Have read similar themes many a times now and maybe this book might appeal to someone who is not used to reading such a theme.
