The Inheritance of Loss.

The Inheritance of Loss.



I did have other options to read other novels but the affection towards mountains had persuaded me to read the Kiran Desai's The Inheritance of Loss.

The narrations  are with contradict about wealth and poverty, migrant and resident, love and hate, regret and contentedness and East and West. Kiran Desai has paid equal attention to the contradicts of life.


At the foot of mount Kanchenjunga lives retired judge and his grand daughter Sai along with cook. Judge who want peace and believed that this world is too far away from the justice. He had lots of thing to regret in life. Sai is been alone character who in term in love with her tutor and waiting to get rid from the betrayed shadow of affection. Cooks son, the migrant in USA and the issues of the migrant and his sight towards the home has been well narrated in the novel. The insurgence Gorkhaland movement by GNLF during 1980 to form Indian-Nepali state. The affect of the movement on local folks are greatly pictured by the writer.


Novel help me to learn the multi-dimension of the characters revolving around us. Indeed the it's a majestic and delicious novel and will fulfill the promise of great reading with joy and companionship.
