A Burning by Megha Majumdar

While this was a well-written book and the three intertwining stories were interesting, I just couldn’t get into it. Jivan, a poor Muslim girl who gets accused of a terrorist attack she didn’t commit and the two people in her life who make conscience decisions to stop fighting for her in order to advance their own power and success are at the center of this story. I didn’t hate it, but I felt like an accomplishment to finish it.
