The Book

Finally got my hands on the book, The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai, winner of Man Booker Prize 2006. Read the first two chapters, awesome start. Deals with a family amidst disturbances in Gorkhaland in 1986. Quite pertinent in today's context since China is claiming Arunachal as it's territory ( what a non-sense ! ).
