The central theme of Vikram Seth's book is love: either by love or strict parental judgment, Lata and her mother, Mrs. Rupa Mehra, are searching for a suitable guy for Lata to marry. In the early 1950s, when India had just gained independence and was going through a difficult period, A Suitable Boy immerses us in the vividly depicted lives of four large extended families and tells a captivating story of their loves and lives. A Suitable Boy is still the narrative of regular people entangled in a web of love and ambition, laughter and misery, prejudice and reconciliation, the most delicate social etiquette and the most horrific brutality. It paints a broad, panoramic picture of a complicated, multiethnic society in flux.
