Who would you like to snuggle under covers with, and why?
"Snuggling with Desai on a rainy Singapore morning,
The story of orphaned Sai fights the urge to keep on snoring,
The judge wants to retire alone, a misanthrope complete,
But society keeps marching on, globalisation can't be beat.
The Inheritance of Loss traces India's diaspora,
And won the Booker Prize in 2006 for Anita's Desai's daughter.
Only her second novel, her journey's just begun,
Let readers hope Kiran is a prolific as her Mum!"
