A Suitable Boy by Vikram SethMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
To not review this work in verse
Would feel impertinent, or worse.
Its rhyming couplets always charm
As do its warmth and depth disarm.
For now I live my life in prose,
Trapped in the cells of spreadsheet rows.
To read a novel of this hue
Can somehow make my soul feel new.
Humans exist, and they have minds
And hearts of countless different kinds.
And if you’re longing to explore,
This book has what you seek and more.
