Sonia Gandhi’s memoir ‘Belonging’ to be published by HarperCollins India

HarperCollins India has announced that it will publish Sonia Gandhi’s upcoming memoir, titled Belonging. The book, described by the publisher as one of the most anticipated political memoirs of recent times, is expected to offer a rare insider’s perspective on India’s political evolution over the decades.

The announcement comes after a much-publicised controversy involving another publishing house, which had initially been slated to bring out the book. The switch to HarperCollins India marks a new chapter for the memoir, which the publisher says is a dramatic and deeply personal narrative.

According to HarperCollins India, Belonging weaves together themes of love, identity, duty, and belonging. It is expected to provide readers with an intimate view of Sonia Gandhi’s personal journey — from her early life to her decades in public service — as well as her observations of the country’s political landscape.

The publisher shared the news on social media on 4 September, generating considerable interest among readers and political observers alike. While no release date has been confirmed, the memoir is already being viewed as a significant addition to contemporary political literature in India.
