This February we'll be reading one of our top-rated books:
The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny by Kiran Desai.
This literary fiction novel is a spellbinding story of two young people whose fates will intersect and diverge across continents and years - an epic tale of love and family, India and America, tradition and modernity, exploring themes of loneliness, identity, immigration, family duty, class, race, and the search for happiness and belonging.
This thread is for initial thoughts, expectations, assumptions, etc - I'll be back in the second week of February with a list of specific discussion questions for us all to explore together.
Just a reminder that book club is for everyone! Feel free to join us if and when you can - no pressure to keep up with every month... you can also pop in later in the year and catch up on the convo if you're a slow reader or had a long wait to get your copy. It's all very low-key.
