It is difficult to imagine that many contemporary writers could give us a novel that provides so much deep satisfaction. -Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book WorldA sweeping panoramic portrait of a complex, multiethnic society in flux, A Suitable Boy tells the story of ordinary people caught up in a web of love, ambition, humor, sadness, prejudice, reconciliation, the most delicate social etiquette, and the most appalling violence.Vikram Seths novel is, at its core, a love story: the tale of Latas-and her mother, Mrs. Rupa Mehras-attempts to find a suitable boy for Lata, through love or through exacting maternal appraisal. Set in the early 1950s in an India newly independent and struggling through a time of crisis, this compelling story takes us into the richly imagined world of four large extended families and spins a compulsively readable tale of their lives and loves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAuthor: Seth, Vikram. | Publisher: Harper Perennial Modern Classics | Pages: 1488 | Publication Date: 2005-10-04 | Edition: Reissue | Binding: Paperback | MSRP: 22.99 | ISBN13: 9780060786526 | ISBN: 0060786523 | Language: en | Store Location: General Fiction | \"Book cover image may be different than what appears on the actual book.\"\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51526181716256,"sku":"NEW0060786523","price":25.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71nE4pDB7GL.jpg?v=1777186567","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/a-suitable-boy-a-novel-modern-classics-0060786523","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
