Book Discussion: THE LONELINESS OF SONIA AND SUNNY by Kiran Desai
Details
June is for fiction! Let's plan to discuss Kiran Desai's The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny.
DATE INFO: It looks like we're sticking with Thursday nights for a while longer as Wandering Leaf continues to host other large events. We want to make sure we have plenty of seating for our book group.
Here's a summary of the book:
"Like the richest 19th-century fiction, this nearly 700-page family saga had our critic Alexandra Jacobs swooning: 'Crowded but never claustrophobic,' she wrote, and 'better company than real-life people.' A tentative romance between the title characters, immigrants from India caught between obligation and self-expression, is the throughline. Skittering between nations and generations from the late 1990s to just after 9/11, Desai stirs in scheming heirs, coveted recipes, a missing amulet and the art monster from hell."
See you then!
