John's Reviews > A Suitable Boy

An epic where a girl gets a boy. I will miss Lata, her mother, Pran, Arun, Varun, Kabir, Amit, Haresh, Maan, Firoz and all the other characters. The political machinations, the insane caste system and the tension between Muslim and Hindu all create an enthralling story. India four years after independence was a fascinating and entertaining read.
