The Museum of Failures
by
by
As with many of Umrigar’s books, she doesn’t shy away from difficult topics. This is a family drama that focuses on culture, immigration, stunning family secrets, love and loss.
Remy Wadia has returned to India after 3 years away, in America. There are several reasons for his trip, and he is forced to confront many difficult memories of the past while looking towards hope for the future.
‘He had often thought of Bombay as the museum of failures, an exhibit hall filled with thwarted dreams and broken promises.’
I must admit that it took me longer to become invested in this book than her previous books. Once I was, it was poignant and heart rending. The last third of the book I didn’t want to put it down. It’s one I’ll be thinking about for some time.
‘The only way to destroy the museum of failures is to burn every shameful secret that it has ever held.’
4.25/5 ⭐️
