Om boken
The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny is a 2025 novel by Kiran Desai. With the narrative taking place mostly between 1996 and 2002, the novel tells the story of Sonia and Sunny, both Indian, one a student in Vermont, and the other a recent graduate from Columbia planning to immigrate to the United States, whose families are long acquainted before they first encounter one another on a train in India. The meeting leads to an extended romance between the two young characters through the thrum and churn of the post colonial world.
