Shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2025, 'The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny' is a sweeping tale by Kiran Desai exploring the lives of two young people, Sonia and Sunny, navigating complex forces such as country, class, race, history, and intergenerational bonds.
Sonia, an aspiring novelist, returns to India haunted by a dark spell from an artist, while Sunny, a struggling journalist in New York, attempts to escape family violence. Their story intertwines a love narrative with family saga and a rich novel of ideas, capturing the alienations of the modern world and the pursuit of happiness together.
