Not Quite Fertile
I was rather disappointed in the book, The Fertile Earth by Ruthvika Rao. While I am interested in novels that highlight class differences and political upheaval across decades, I thought this book did not develop the characters deeply enough to make them believable to me. I did enjoy the picturesque settings in this book that really brought the locations to life and added to this reader's appreciation of the character's surroundings. However, I found a considerable effort was required in understanding regional vocabulary used frequently enough to interrupt the flow of a passage. Overall, I was not a fan of this book.
