Shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2025\, The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny is a love story\, a family saga\, and a rich novel of ideas\, it is the most ambitious and accomplished work yet by one of our greatest novelists. \nDesai is the author of Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard\, which was published to unanimous acclaim in over 22 countries\, and The Inheritance of Loss\, which won the Booker Prize in 2006\, as well as the National Book Critics Circle Award\, and was shortlisted for the Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction. \nQuestions about the event?\nEmail: englishevents@ucla.edu
