The first copies of ‘Belonging: A Journey of Love’, Sonia Gandhi’s memoir, are here. The 79-year-old was, of course, the first recipent of the much awaited book, which is set for worldwide release on November 10.
I look forward to sharing it with you,” Gandhi, who also made her Instagram debut today, said in a post, along with a video. “Hello everyone, I’m truly grateful to share this moment with you all; the first look of Belonging: A Journey of Love. It is a story of love, duty, loss and finding a place to belong.
Browsing through it, Sonia Gandhi, turning the book around, said “lots of pictures, Priyanka” while showing the book to her daughter. “One of the most anticipated political memoirs of our time, Belonging is a dramatic and deeply personal story of love, identity, duty and belonging, and offers a rare insider’s view of India’s journey,” HarperCollins, the India publisher of the book, had said in an earlier post. “Much has been written about my family, but few narratives were able to reach into the truth of their motivations, their actions and even their very human failings,” Sonia Gandhi said in a statement issued through Alfred A Knopf, the book’s US publisher.
Sonia Gandhi eventually entered politics and became the longest-serving president of the Congress while also turning down her party’s offer to become prime minister. “It was heartbreak and loss that threw me into the public world of politics. Her party lost power to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s BJP in 2014.
Up till then I had guarded my privacy fiercely,” she said in her statement.
