The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny

Présentation

Nearly twenty years after The Inheritance of Loss won the Booker Prize, Kiran Desai returns with a sweeping novel of migration and longing. From the 1990s into the new century, Sonia and Sunny move between India, the United States, Italy and Mexico, their lives brushing close and pulling apart. With tenderness and a vast geographical reach, Desai writes about displacement, ambition and the loneliness of those who belong fully nowhere. Shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2025, this long-awaited book is an immersive, emotionally rich epic of two people and the distances — real and inward — that keep them apart. Édition en anglais.
