A Suitable Boy : THE CLASSIC BESTSELLER AND MAJOR BBC DRAMA Alan Margolies population explosions in some partsVikram Seth's novel is, at its core, a love story: the tale of Lata and her mother's attempts to find her a suitable husband, through love or through exacting maternal appraisal. At the same time, it is the story of India, newly independent and struggling through a time of crisis as a sixth of the world's population faces its first great general election and the chance to map its own destiny.
