The soaring new novel from Kiran Desai, Booker Prize-winning author of The Inheritance of LossThe Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny is the sweeping tale of two young people, abroad in the United States and at home in India, navigating the many forces that shape their lives: country, class, race, history, and the complicated bonds that link one generation to the next. A love story, a family saga, and a rich novel of ideas, it is the most ambitious and accomplished work yet by one of our greatest novelists.In the words of the author: 'Using the comic lens of an endlessly unresolved romance between two modern Indians, The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny examines Western and Eastern notions and manifestations of love and solitude as they play out across the geographical and emotional terrain of today's globalized world. I think only a novel can get at the raw truth regarding what people are privately thinking and negotiating.'The publication of this new novel from Kiran Desai will be a major international publishing event.
