Sonia Gandhi to Release Memoir 'Belonging: A Journey of Love' Focusing on Personal Life
Sonia Gandhi, a senior Congress leader, is set to release her memoir titled 'Belonging: A Journey of Love' on November 10 in India through HarperCollins India. Gandhi has emphasized that the book is a deeply personal account of her life, rather than a political narrative. She aims to provide readers with an intimate understanding of her family, portraying them as the individuals she knew and loved, beyond their public image. Gandhi stated that she largely kept her inner world private throughout her life, even after entering politics, and found writing openly about herself challenging. It was only after stepping back from the daily demands of public life that she felt able to reflect on her experiences and put them into perspective. The memoir will cover her journey from Italy to India, her relationship with Rajiv Gandhi, her bond with her mother-in-law Indira Gandhi, and the personal tragedies she endured, including the assassinations of both Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi.
