Desai’s “The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny” is scheduled for launch in September by Hogarth, an imprint of the Random Home Publishing Group. Hogarth is asking the novel “a sweeping tale” of two Indians discovering their method within the U.S. amidst private and historic forces.
“Using the comic lens of an endlessly unresolved romance between two modern Indians, ‘The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny’ examines Western and Eastern notions and manifestations of love and solitude as they play out across the geographical and emotional terrain of today’s globalized world,” Desai said in a statement Wednesday. “I think only a novel can get at the raw truth regarding what people are privately thinking and negotiating.”

Eight years later, she obtained worldwide popularity of “The Inheritance of Loss,” launched within the U.S. by Atlantic Month-to-month Press. Winner of the Booker and the Nationwide E book Critics Circle award, her novel follows the lives of an undocumented Indian immigrant within the U.S. and of an Anglicized Indian abroad within the state of West Bengal. Desai was 35 when she obtained the Booker, the youngest lady on the time to win the prize.
Desai’s editor at Hogarth, David Ebershoff, stated in a press release that her new e-book is “an expansive tale of multiple generations, a novel infused with equal amounts of heart and mind.”
