La soledad de Sonia y Sunny es la historia fascinante de dos jóvenes cuyos destinos se cruzan y separan a lo largo de continentes y años: una epopeya sobre el amor y la familia, la India y América, la tradición y la modernidad, que marca el regreso a la gran narrativa de Kiran Desai, ganadora del Premio Booker con El legado de la pérdida.
Cuando Sonia y Sunny se encuentran por primera vez en un tren nocturno, la atracción entre ellos es inmediata, pero ambos recuerdan con incomodidad que sus abuelos intentaron emparejarlos años atrás, una torpe intromisión que solo sirvió para alejarlos.
Sonia, aspirante a novelista, ha vuelto a la India tras sus estudios en las montañas nevadas de Vermont, atormentada por el posible hechizo que un artista lanzó sobre ella cuando buscaba inspiración e intimidad. Sunny, periodista en apuros instalado en Nueva York, intenta escapar de su dominante madre y del caos de su belicosa familia. Ambos, inseguros de su futuro, emprenden juntos la búsqueda de la felicidad mientras se enfrentan a las múltiples formas de alienación del mundo moderno.
Lockwood, the new tenant of Thrushcross Grange, situated on the bleak Yorkshire moors, is forced to seek shelter one night at Wuthering Heights, the home of his landlord. There he discovers the history of the tempestuous events that took place years before. What unfolds is the tale of the intense love between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw. Catherine, forced to choose between passionate, tortured Heathcliff and gentle, well-bred Edgar Linton, surrenders to the expectations of her class. As Heathcliff's bitterness and vengeance at his betrayal is visited upon the next generation, their innocent heirs must struggle to escape the legacy of the past.
Jackie Howard returns to the Walter ranch after a summer in New York. She needed space―and got it. But she doesn't know where things stand with her and Cole Walter after that goodbye kiss. Over the summer, she stopped texting him. She never stopped thinking about him.
Still, with Cole living off in town to work at Tony's garage before he heads off to college, Jackie thinks it'll be easy to avoid him―only to find that when she sees him face to face at last, it's, well... impossible to resist him. Things are getting complicated: he's the boy she can't get off her mind, and the Walters have become the family she loves and needs. How can Jackie move forward when she's afraid of taking the next step?
