The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai (2006) 384 pages...
I was looking for another quality novel after Shantaram... and this one did not disappoint. Probably a good degree emphasis... What makes this book memorable is its subtle message of the inter-connectivity of lives and the scars of culture-cash in India, the US, and England. The dialogue is captivating; the characters so funny and tragicaly real. It takes place during the mid-1980s but some of its politics are applicable in India and internationally today.
BTW, I'm learning that there are some really talented fiction writers in India today. /mwf
