Vikram Seth- Two Lives

[tissy]

Anyone recommend it?

I loved A Suitable Boy, and Amazon reviews are good, but was surprised to read somewhere that it was one of the worst sellers of 2006!

I've read Two Lives. I would suggest that it is ok to borrow from the library rather than buy! The interesting bit is the fact that an Indian student dentist was in Berlin in the 1930s and that he met and married (much later) a Jewish Berliner. Their lives afterwards weren't terribly interesting so not great for quite a long biography.
