A SUITABLE BOY
Εκδότης Orion , ISBN 9781474618793
A modern classic, this epic tale of families, romance and political intrigue
never loses its power to delight and enchant readers.
Vikram Seth's novel is, at its core, a love story: the tale of Lata - and her mother's -
attempts to find her a suitable husband, through love or through exacting maternal
appraisal. At the same time, it is the story of India, newly independent and struggling
through a time of crisis as a sixth of the world's population faces its first great general
election and the chance to map its own destiny.
'A Suitable Boy may prove to be the most fecund as well as the most prodigious
work of the latter half of this century - perhaps even the book to restore the serious
reading public's faith in the contemporary novel ... You should make time for it. It will
keep you company for the rest of your life' Daniel Johnson, The Times
