Review:
Rani Singh, the author of Sonia Gandhi: An Extraordinary Life, An Indian Destiny brings a book that dwells on the private, the political life of Sonia Gandhi and tries to show us the side of Sonia Gandhi that we never knew existed. The book has details of the confusion and the hoopla that surrounded her declining the post of Prime Minister and instead making Dr. Manmohan Singh hold the privileged position. The author doesn't compromise on carefully examining the decisions taken by Sonia and tries to have an unbiased and open minded set of perspectives about their repercussions on her as well as her people's lives.
This is a book that you would consider stands as a genuine account of the most powerful figure in Asia as it takes you deep inside the core of the machine. That the author has spent tremendous amount of time in research and painstakingly collected volumes of elaborate information would be well evident as you span the pages of the book. The book doesn't fall short neither in criticizing Sonia's actions nor in drawing her accolades. The book touches the life of Sonia and uncovers the person behind the iconic image of Sonia Gandhi. It reveals the ordinary aspect of Sonia Gandhi's life that makes her one of us and the extra-ordinary discipline in her movements in politics.
The book ceases to be a book only centered on the life of Sonia Gandhi and grows to be a book on the Indian political scene and the impact on it by the Congress Party Supreme. Above all Sonia Gandhi: An Extraordinary Life, An Indian Destiny is a biography that takes form of a heartfelt narrative.
