Kiran Desai

Kiran Desai is the daughter of famous writer Anita Desai who happens to be the youngest woman to win the Man Booker Prize at the age of 35 for her novel ‘Inheritance of Loss’. She admits that her mother’s works played a significant role in her writings and winning the award was almost a ‘family endeavor’. “I wrote this book so much in her company it feels almost like her book’’, she told the BBC. According to the Booker judges, ‘The Inheritance of Loss’ is a “magnificent novel of humane breadth and wisdom, comic tenderness and powerful political acuteness.”Her easy and soothing writing style has won the hearts of millions of readers and she has been successful in earning a place in the world of literature.
