Most of you must be wondering why I havent posted recently. That is because I have started reading this novel " A Suitable Boy" which is around 1300 pages. And even for a reader like me who reads pretty fast, this is really huge. So I thought I ll keep you up-to-date with whatever I have read so far.
My main intention of choosing Vikram Seth was that I wanted to read something written by an Indian author. Wanted to hear more from my country :).
So here goes the story line so far.
There are numerous family lines entwined here where ones sister is another person's sis - in-law. So in brief, so far the main crux of the story is Lata. She is a single woman who has just finished her studies and falls in love with a Muslim person Kabir. The story is so far around them and their families and how the family reacts to such news. The mother is on a search for a suitable boy for her, along with her brothers and sisters. :)
There is a nephew Bhaskar who is interested in Maths a lot. There is some sub plot invovling shoe makers :) And lots of other twists and tales. I liked the novel so far and hope it has a good conclusion :)
