La soledad de Sonia y Sunny

The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny is the captivating story of two young people whose paths intertwine and diverge across continents and years: an epic tale of love and family, India and America, tradition and modernity, marking the return to great storytelling by Kiran Desai, winner of the Booker Prize for The Legacy of Loss. When Sonia and Sunny first meet on an overnight train, the attraction between them is immediate, yet they both uncomfortably recall their grandparents' attempts to pair them up years earlier—a clumsy meddling that only drove them further apart. Sonia, an aspiring novelist, has returned to India after her studies in the snowy mountains of Vermont, haunted by the possible spell cast upon her by an artist when she sought inspiration and privacy. Sunny, a struggling journalist based in New York, is trying to escape his domineering mother and the chaos of his belligerent family. Both uncertain of their future, they embark together on a quest for happiness while confronting the many forms of alienation in the modern world.
