A Suitable Boy de Vikram Seth

A Suitable Boy

Vikram Seth

A modern classic, this epic tale of families, romance and political intrigue never loses its power to delight and enchant readers. Vikram Seth's novel is, at its core, a love story: the tale of Lata - and her mother's - attempts to find her a suitable husband, 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 sixth of the world's population faces its first great general election and the chance to map its own destiny.

'A Suitable Boy may prove to be the most fecund as well as the most prodigious work of the latter half of this century - perhaps even the book to restore the serious reading public's faith in the contemporary novel ... You should make time for it. It will keep you company for the rest of your life' Daniel Johnson, The Times

Recenzii

“Surrender to this strange, beguiling world and be swept away on the wings of story. . . . It is difficult to imagine that many contemporary writers could give us a novel that provides so much deep satisfaction.” — Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book World
“Awe . . . is what Seth’s labor inspires in the reader. In the end it is as if one had listened to a raag played by a musician with skill, dexterity, and charm.” — Anita Desai, New York Review of Books
“Enormously varied, unfailingly interesting, funny, sad, exasperating and appealing, this novel becomes a real passage to India.” — Atlantic Monthly
“Spellbinding . . . Patterned after the massively populated nineteenth-century social novels of Charles Dickens, Anthony Trollope and George Eliot, A Suitable Boy is as vast and teeming as its subject, India.” — San Francisco Chronicle
“[Seth is] passionately concerned to offer his Western readers as thick—and as multilayered—a slice of Indian life in the 1950s as this huge novel can hold . . . Lavishly detailed . . . lovingly recounted.” — New York Times Book Review
“The novel casts a fine spell. . . . As you turn page after quiet page . . . what you’re doing gradually passes beyond reading. It becomes an involuntary act, like breathing.” — Newsweek
“A Suitable Boy provides that rarest of books, a literary tour de force as pleasant as it is unpretentious . . . a book as suitable for the scholar’s nightstand as it is for any restful and enriching summer vacation.” — USA Today
“A magnificent display of artistic control. . . . A Suitable Boy is a page-turner…that pays the reader back and richly.” — Los Angeles Times
“A vivid tapestry of Indian life in the early 1950s . . . [Seth’s] characters are captivating . . . They linger in the mind like old friends.” — People
“A huge, fulsome novel . . . [with] surprising depths . . . What makes the book special is the wit and whimsy that inform its pages.” — Chicago Tribune
