Vikram Seth
A Suitable Boy
New York: Harper Collins, 1993.
First printing.
A masterpiece that succeeds in conjuring up all of 1950s provincial India through the interaction of four families.
A Hindu girl falls for a Muslim boy and every type and condition of their complex society is swept into a tragi-comic dance around the young couple.
Seth, who until this had written poetry, has created an extraordinarily complex, old-fashioned and yet accessible work. A real treat.
As New in as new dust-jacket.
Hardcover.
