‘Heartbreak, loss threw me into politics’: Sonia Gandhi’s memoir out in November

Sonia Gandhi's eagerly anticipated memoir, titled "Belonging: A Journey of Love," will be released in November, according to the Associated Press. Alfred A Knopf, a division of Penguin Random House that has published acclaimed authors such as Toni Morrison and Kazuo Ishiguro, announced the book's November 10 release date. The 79-year-old Congress leader, who has served as the party's longest-serving president, will share her personal experiences, from her Italian childhood to her marriage to Rajiv Gandhi, and the tragic losses that propelled her into politics.

Gandhi emphasizes that her memoir is a tribute to the humanity of her family members, offering a unique perspective on the social and political transformations she witnessed over six decades in her adopted homeland.
