Book Summary

A Suitable Boy is a classic novel by Vikram Seth, set in post-independence India during the early 1950s. The story follows Lata Mehra, a young university student whose mother is determined to find her a suitable husband. As Lata meets three very different men, she must choose between following her heart and fulfilling her family's expectations.
