About this product

Product Information

The Inheritance of Loss is Kiran Desai's extraordinary Man Booker Prize winning novel. High in the Himalayas sits a dilapidated mansion, home to three people, each dreaming of another time. The judge, broken by a world too messy for justice, is haunted by his past. His orphan granddaughter has fallen in love with her handsome tutor, despite their different backgrounds and ideals. The cook's heart is with his son, who is working in a New York restaurant, mingling with an underclass from all over the globe as he seeks somewhere to call home. Around the house swirl the forces of revolution and change. Civil unrest is making itself felt, stirring up inner conflicts as powerful as those dividing the community, pitting the past against the present, nationalism against love, a small place against the troubles of a big world. 'A Magnificent novel of humane breadth and wisdom, comic tenderness and political acuteness' Hermione Lee, chair of the Man Booker Prize judges 'Poised, elegant and assured . . . breaks out into extraordinary beauty' The Times 'Desai's bold, original voice, and her ability to deal in a grand narratives with a deft comic touch that affectionately recalls some of the masters of Indian fiction, makes hers a novel to reread and remembered'Independent Kiran Desai was born in India in 1971, was educated in India, England and the United States, and now lives in New York. She is the author of Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard, which was published to unanimous acclaim in over twenty-two countries, and The Inheritance of Loss, which won the Man Book Prize for Fiction and the National Book Critics Circle Award, was shortlisted for the Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction.

    Ordered Endless Wire Deluxe Digipak 2CD set from The Vinyl Space—listed as "like new." While the discs had a couple of tiny marks (more like VG+ than Like New), packaging was top-notch. Bubble wrap envelope, extra spacer between discs—these guys packed it with real care. Cover's in M- shape, and booklet is pure M+ & it arrived super fast. For the price & for such an underrated collector’s piece I’m not complaining. Seller takes their job seriously & would happily buy from them again—A++ Seller!

    Item as described, good price, sent promptly in padded mailer bag and arrived in good time. As the Seller provides a new cd case it was unfortunate that the case was probably cracked in transit by the postal system. Not the Seller’s fault and not a big issue just unlucky in the post.
