This was the first time I read a book by Vikram Seth. "A suitable boy", set in 1951-1952, is a good read, certainly for someone who is able to understand and appreciate the historical and cultural realities of the early post-independence Indian society. In more than 1400 pages, this novel depicts the happenings in the lives of a few families over a period of one year, while painting a portrait of a newly free India, beset by challenges and attempting to rise to a new dawn.
