A modern classic, this epic tale of families, romance and political
intrigue, set in India, never loses its power to delight and enchant
readers. At its core, A Suitable Boy is 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.
