Joan Mackenzie reviews two books: The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny and Last Rites.
The book by Kiran Desai tells the story of Sonia and Sunny, who live, study, and work in America. Their families in India worry about their loneliness and try to bring them together.
As they connect, they navigate relationships in their new world, including finding their place, class, race, history, and complicated generational bonds.
This is huge, epic and outstanding.
Ozzy's memoir is an unfiltered rock 'n roll story of an extraordinary life, from being a pariah for outrageous behavior to selling over 100 million albums and becoming a beloved figure.
