The spellbinding story of two young people whose fates intersect and diverge across continents and years—an epic of love and family, India and America, tradition and modernity, by the Booker Prize–winning author of The Inheritance of Loss
“A spectacular literary achievement. I wanted to pack a little suitcase and stay inside this book forever.”—Ann Patchett
When Sonia and Sunny first glimpse each other on an overnight train, they are immediately captivated yet also embarrassed by the fact that their grandparents had once tried to matchmake them, a clumsy meddling that served only to drive Sonia and Sunny apart. A sweeping tale of two young people navigating the many forces that shape their lives, The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny is a love story, a family saga, and a rich novel of ideas, and the most ambitious and accomplished work yet by one of our greatest novelists.
