The Inheritance of Loss won the 2006 Man Booker Prize for the Indian author Kiran Desai.
Set in the mid-1980s in the northeastern Himalayas, the novel explores the profound impacts of colonialism, globalization, and identity. It beautifully intertwines the lives of a retired judge, his orphaned granddaughter Sai, and his cook, whose son Biju lives as an undocumented immigrant in New York. Desai's acclaimed work masterfully captures the pain of displacement and the rigid structures of class and race.
