Paperback. Condition: Good. A Suitable Boy (1993) by Vikram Seth ? Condition: Good (Crappy Old Books, Indian Publication) Let?s be honest: A Suitable Boy isn?t so much a novel as it is a piece of architecture. Published in 1993 by Viking?Penguin India (ISBN: 9780670851027), it is one of the longest single-volume novels ever written?so long, in fact, that merely lifting it can qualify as light resistance training. Within its near-1500 pages, Vikram Seth orchestrates an entire post-Partition India: families sprawling across provinces, politics playing out like theatre, romance and tradition clashing like cymbals, and the eternal question of who, exactly, will be ?a suitable boy.? It?s an epic that manages to be both dazzlingly intricate and warmly humane, like a symphony performed in your living room. This copy hails from Crappy Old Books and is rated Good ?the kind of ?good? that speaks of experience rather than perfection. Some of the pages have been creased, yes (probably by readers too enraptured to notice they?d bent the corner), but all are present, strong, and straightened as best as human hands can manage. The spine is still solid, the binding reassuringly intact, and the text as sharp as ever. Think of it less as a mint-condition museum piece and more as a well-travelled storyteller with a few wrinkles: characterful, trustworthy, and still full of life. Reading this edition is a little like sitting down to a never-ending banquet: you may not know if you?ll make it to the final course, but the feast is too good to walk away from. Expect criss-crossing lives, arranged marriages and love matches, landlords and labourers, political debates and poetic interludes?all delivered in Seth?s deceptively clear, generous prose. It?s the novel equivalent of a continent, and carrying this edition around gives you bragging rights to say: ?Yes, I?ve read A Suitable Boy , and yes, my biceps are stronger for it.? In short: a suitably ?Good? copy of a monumental book. Creases? Yes. Flaws? A few. But like the boy in question, it?s not about being perfect?it?s about being right for you. Another honest gem from Crappy Old Books, where even epic doorstoppers come with a wink.

The novel may be vast but I was convinced by this version right from the start. Magnificent drama' - Radio TimesA Suitable Boy is Vikram Seth's epic love story set in India. Funny and tragic, with engaging, brilliantly-observed characters, it is as close as you can get to Dickens for the twentieth century.The story unfolds through four middle-class families - the Mehras, Kapoors, Khans and Chatterjis. Lata Mehra, a university student, is under pressure from her mother to get married. But not to just anyone she happens to fall in love with. There are standards to be met and finding a husband for Lata becomes a family affair in which all the members are to play a part. The characters struggle, they try to buck the system, to break free of restraint, of interference - but ultimately their strength and sense of being comes from their family and friends. It is a celebration of ordinariness; a beautifully composed story that is an affirmation of family and friendship.In his sweeping epic, Vikram Seth has created an entire world filled with warmth, humour, pathos, tragedy - in short, life.
