High in the Himalayas sits a dilapidated mansion, home to three people, each dreaming of another time. Around the house swirl the forces of revolution and change. 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.
