What do readers think of A People's History of Heaven by Mathangi Subramanian? Write your own review.

The story was a little syrupy and not every object needs to be defined by an analogy. I could not get past trying to keep track of 5 girls and their mothers. This is another story like the "Beautiful Forevers".

The book has positive and negative attributes. In the positive side it showed how a group of girls living in extreme poverty in a country where the goernment was destroying their unlivable homes attempted to salvage and take back what was theirs. The negative aspect was the depressing poverty of their country. What made it a little harder to read were many of the foreign words.
