The Inheritance of Loss What is the author's tone in The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 02:34 Last updated by Cat on 22 Feb 21:57
The tone is lyrical and poetic.The prose at the beginning draws the reader in lightly, then increases in speed to give a necessary intensity and flow at the rights times, then slowing again to let the reader absorb everything.
