Ian Brown reviewed The Postmaster by Rabindranath Tagore (Penguin twentieth-century classics)
Grim, full of death and disappointment,
4 stars
Tough to read many of these. Children, husbands, wives, mothers, fathers...so many meet a sad end. Also wild to see the accepted practices of the world at the turn of the century. Worth a read, but buckle up and brace yourself for a rough go.
