Aleph Book Company has acquired publishing rights of Vikram Seth’s much-awaited ‘A Suitable Girl’, sequel to the 1993 bestseller ‘A Suitable Boy’. The novel is set for release 2016.
Aleph will also be publishing the 20th anniversary edition of “A Suitable Boy”, set to release February 2014.
The announcement came after the author was asked to return a $ 1.7 million advance by his previous publisher, Penguin, in July, as he had failed to deliver the manuscript of the sequel on time.
After a year I changed my rating from 4 to 5 stars. Why? Whenever I think of this book a smile came on my face. It is amazing and every character is well defined. After 100-200 pages it seems to a reader that he is the part of story and living among these characters. In many novels there can be better story but the art of story telling is very important to keep readers enchanted. On front cover of this book a review is written by ‘The Times’ which holds true when you finish this book. “Make time for it. It will keep you company for the rest of your life. “
