Oh wow! Kiran Desai’s The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny is longlisted for the 2025 Booker Prize 19 years after The Inheritance of Loss won. What a staggering return! (Out in September!)
The book I would like to recommend this 2nd October is Krishna Kumar’s THANK YOU, GANDHI. I had the privilege of reading it in manuscript. This is a richly insightful and deeply moving book about what Gandhi means to India and the world today.

Cannot wait to read this much-awaited book from a true scholar who I have the privilege of also calling a friend.
The state has not treated him well, but this book deserves to be read by everyone.
Thank you @Bahrisons_books for the amazing book signing experience. Truly an institution for all book lovers in Delhi & beyond.
Thanks also to all those who were able to make it. I was (very) jet lagged but your presence warmed my heart. 🙏🏾
