Vikram Seth's novel is, at its core, a love story: the tale of Lata -- and her mother's -- attempts to find a suitable boy through love or through exacting maternal appraisal. At the same time, it is the story of India, newly independent and struggling through a time of crisis as a sweep of the world's population faces its first great General Election and the chance to map its own destiny.
“Paperback with noticeable shelf wear, scuffed and rubbed covers, light soiling and small marks to back and edges, bumped corners, creasing along the spine and some wear at spine ends. Pages show light age-toning but appear intact. Overall solid reading copy.”
