Sinopsis
Kiran Desai's first novel, Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard, was published to unanimous acclaim in over twenty-two countries. Now Desai takes us to the northeastern Himalayas where a rising insurgency challenges the old way of life. In a crumbling, isolated house at the foot of Mount Kanchenjunga lives an embittered old judge who wants to retire in peace when his orphaned granddaughter Sai arrives on his doorstep. The judge's chatty cook watches over her, but his thoughts are mostly with his son, Biju, hopscotching from one New York restaurant job to another, trying to stay a step ahead of the INS, forced to consider his country's place in the world. When a Nepalese insurgency in the mountains threatens Sai's new-sprung romance with her handsome Nepali tutor and causes their lives to descend into chaos, they, too, are forced to confront their colliding interests. The nation fights itself. The cook witnesses the hierarchy being overturned and discarded. The judge must revisit his past, his own role in this grasping world of conflicting desires-every moment holding out the possibility for hope or betrayal. A novel of depth and emotion, Desai's second, long-awaited novel fulfills the grand promise established by her first.

Críticas
"If book reviews just cut to the chase, this one would simply read: This is a terrific novel! Read it!" -Ann Harleman, The Boston Globe "One of the most impressive novels in English of the past year, and I predict you'll read it...with your heart in your chest, inside the narrative, and the narrative inside you." -Alan Cheuse, Chicago Tribune "[An] extraordinary new novel...lit by a moral intelligence at once fierce and tender." -Pankaj Mishra, front-cover review in The New York Times Book Review "If God is in the details, Ms. Desai has written a holy book. Page after page, from Harlem to the Himalayas, she captures the terror and exhilaration of being alive in the world." -Gary Shteyngart, author of Absurdistan

Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Like mother, like daughter. Anita Desai and Kiran Desai. Skilled writers, both of them; although the daughter is - so far - rather less prolific. "The Inheritance of Loss" was her second novel, following the highly entertaining "Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard". This is the true first edition, preceding the UK edition. The book went on to win the National Book Critics Circle Fiction Award as well as the Booker Prize for 2006. Lovely novel. There is some very slight crushing to spine ends, otherwise a fine copy in fine dust jacket. Nº de ref. del artículo: 000161

Hardcover. Condición: Good. Littered with colorful characters and settings and sweeping in scope, Kiran Desai's new novel, 'Inheritance of Loss', explores the sometimes funny, sometimes sad states of human nature. In the isolated Himalayan Mountains, an embittered judge lives alone, hoping to avoid contact. Then, his orphaned granddaughter, Sai, arrives on his doorstep. As Sai explores a relationship with her Nepali tutor, the judge's cook worries about his son, Biju, who is fleeing from the INS in NYC, and the judge faces his own past and the journey that brought him to the Himalayas. Poignant and entertaining, this is a story of the consequences of colonialism, religion, race, and nationalism, and of abiding love for life. Nº de ref. del artículo: 2206689
