Book Club: The Loneliness of Sonia & Sunny by Kiran Desai (645 pages)

Sorry for posting this on the late side. I hope you've all started reading anyway, since this is a 645-page book.

Suzanne has once again generously offered her home in the Clairemont area for our next meeting, due to the difficulties with the libraries during tax time. Thank you so much, Suzanne! I'll text her address to those who RSVP and are confirmed closer to the date. Please text me at 619-787-1044 if I don't have your cell. We've got a tentative reservation at Allied Gardens library for May 11th so we should be back on track once the tax deadline passes.

Description:
A literary novel following two young Indians navigating isolation, cultural identity, and career struggles as immigrants in the U.S.. It explores the "loneliness" of modern life, the weight of family expectations, and the complexities of romance.
