A Kiran Desai comeback, well-worth the twenty-year wait.
We’ve loved Kiran Desai’s writing since 'The Inheritance of Loss', so this one had a lot to live up to. And it didn’t disappoint. 'The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny' is sprawling in the best way, moving between India and America, across generations and family lines, with characters whose lives knot together around love, ambition, and the pull of tradition versus change. It’s the kind of novel you can lose yourself in for weeks.
Perfect For:
Those who crave big, absorbing novels that stay with you long after the last page.
We are driven by curiosity, and a deep love for product, and are committed to transparency. We scour the internet to find products we love—from brands we trust. We look for things that stand out for their distinctive design, quality and mindfulness. We recommend these finds on the Souk website and in our newsletters—and tell you exactly why we like them. Like any friend would do.
If you're new to this, here's the deal — when you buy something through a link on Souk, we may earn a percentage of the sale, but it is at no extra cost to you. This allows us to remain independent and focused on curating only what we genuinely love. Any ad or sponsored post will be clearly labelled as such — there are no secret product placements on Souk! Each time you use our links to buy something, it supports our team's hard work as your trusted shopping buddy.
