Produktinformationen zu „The Inheritance of Loss “
In the north-easter Himalayas, at the foot of Mount Kanchenjunga, in a crumbling isolated house, there lives a cantankerous old judge, who wants nothing more than to retire in peace. But with the arrival of his orphaned granddaughter, Sai, and the son of his chatty cook trying to make his way in the US and stay a step ahead of the immigration services, this is far from easy.

At the foot of Mount Kanchenjunga in the Himalayas, an embittered old judge's life is changed by the arrival of his orphaned granddaughter, Sai.

A brilliant, bittersweet family saga and a powerful reflection of modern times, which won last year's Man Booker Prize, and was book of the year for a range of newspapers.
