(show)  Greenlight Fiction Book Group Tuesday, June 18, 7:30 PM Greenlight Fiction Book Group discusses The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai Led by Greenlight general manager Alexis, this book group discusses paperback fiction on the third Thursday of each month. For June, the group discuses Kiran Desai’s Booker Prize-winning novel The Inheritance of Loss. In a crumbling, isolated house at the foot of Mount Kanchenjunga in the Himalayas lives an embittered judge who wants only to retire in peace, when his orphaned granddaughter, Sai, arrives on his doorstep. The judge’s cook watches over her distractedly, for his thoughts are often on his son, Biju, who is hopscotching from one gritty New York restaurant to another. Kiran Desai’s brilliant novel, published to huge acclaim, is a story of joy and despair. Her characters face numerous choices that majestically illuminate the consequences of colonialism as it collides with the modern world.
