The spellbinding story of two young people whose fates intersect and diverge across continents and years unfolds an epic of love and family, tradition and modernity. In the snowy mountains of Vermont, Sonia, a lonely college student and aspiring writer, longs for India and seeks inspiration from an older artist, whose influence will darken her life for years. Meanwhile, in Brooklyn, Sunny, a struggling journalist from Delhi, grapples with loneliness as he navigates his American girlfriend and the complexities of his new life. Both Sonia and Sunny grow increasingly alienated, prompting them to question their understanding of happiness, connection, and belonging. In India, their extended families, unable to comprehend their loneliness, orchestrate a meeting between the two, but this clumsy interference only drives them further apart before love can blossom. The narrative explores the forces shaping their identities—country, class, race, and history—while delving into the intricate bonds across generations. This sweeping tale captures the essence of a love story, a family saga, and a rich exploration of ideas, marking a significant achievement by one of our greatest novelists.
