Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard Kiran Desai
Publisher: Grove/Atlantic, Inc.
Several years ago I had picked-up Kiran Desai's first novel Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard in London. Desai's first novel, Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard was endorsed by Salman Rushdie and her writing, at the time, was compared to his. Her first book, Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard, was published in 1998. Kiran Desai is one of the most insightful Indain novelists who got recognition worldwide with her two superb novels Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard and The Inheritance of Loss.

Desai's first novel, Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard (1998), gained accolades from notable figures including Salman Rushdie, and went on to receive the Betty Trask Award. Her first book, Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard, took four years to write, and was recognized with lavish praise by numerous readers and critics. I'd presumed, in my usual presumptuous fashion, that because Desai is an Indian writer, Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard would be: (a) magic realist; and (b) post-colonial. Kiran Desai was born in 1971 and this book was published in 1998. I recently went to a Red Cross general meeting, which was hilarious and a complete waste of my time (because it was all in Luganda, not because the meeting content were useless). Things I Liked About This Book 1. This book won the Man Booker Prize, so I'm clearly not alone in saying that The Inheritance of Loss is worth your time. Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard. The Inheritance of Loss was published 2006, winning the Man Booker Prize.
