The Most Precious Substance on Earth
by Shashi Bhat
I'm a bit conflicted about this book. On one hand, it's poignant and hard-hitting. On the other, it reads as stream of consciousness and often abandons story threads completely. Instead it feels like a collection of short stories following the same character. And with that in mind, it's excellently done. Nina has a hard life, often feeling lost, and I can relate to that. Many content warnings here, including rape, pedophilia, drug use, loss of a loved one, and stalking. But it's overall a quick literary fiction read that will leave you thinking.
