Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny

 

We loved The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny by Kiran Desai.  We thought that the author was able to capture the immigrant experience of having one part of one's identity rooted in one's heritage while living in another culture, learning all the nuances.  There were so many challenges for Sonia and Sunny that were parallel and different based on their economic status, educational status and gender.  

Next book is Auditon by  Katia Kitamura   .  We are meeting at Chrysanne's at 5:30.
