I have a confession to make: I have not read A Suitable Boy.

Like War and Peace, I have always meant to read it. Granted, Vikram Seth’s 1,349-page tome on 1950s post-partition India does not make for a light holiday read (both figuratively and literally - it would take up most of your suitcase allowance). But the story, about a young woman finding love against the backdrop of her newly independent country, has always appealed.
