Vikram Seth's novel is, at its core, a love story: Lata and her
mother, Mrs. Rupa Mehra, are both trying to find -- through love or
through exacting maternal appraisal -- a suitable boy for Lata to
marry. Set in the early 1950s, in an India newly independent and
struggling through a time of crisis, "A Suitable Boy" takes us into
the richly imagined world of four large extended families and spins
a compulsively readable tale of their lives and loves. A sweeping
panoramic portrait of a complex, multiethnic society in flux, "A
Suitable Boy" remains the story of ordinary people caught up in a
web of love and ambition, humor and sadness, prejudice and
reconciliation, the most delicate social etiquette and the most
appalling violence.
