Publisher Summary 1
Sonia Gandhi's聽story represents the greatest transformational journey made by any world leader in the last four decades. Circumstance and tragedy, rather than ambition, paved her path to power.聽Born into a traditional,聽middle-class聽Italian family, Sonia met and fell in love with Rajiv Gandhi, son of聽future Indian prime minister聽Indira Gandhi and grandson of Jawaharlal Nehru, while studying English in聽Cambridge. Cruelly tested by the assassinations of her mother-in-law and of her husband,聽Sonia grew into a strong, authoritative but always private figure, now president of a coalition ruling聽over a billion people in the world's largest democracy. Through exclusive interviews with members of Sonia's party, political opponents and family friends, Rani Singh casts new light on Sonia.聽In聽the first mainstream biography of this聽inspirational聽figure,聽the author's聽compelling narrative retraces the path of the brave and beautiful Sonia Gandhi, examining what her life聽and legacy mean for India.
