Penguin India Withdraws from Publishing Sonia Gandhi's Memoir Over Editorial Disputes
Sonia Gandhi's memoir, 'Belonging: A Journey of Love,' which chronicles her life from childhood in Italy to her political journey in India, will not be published by Penguin Random House India due to disagreements over editorial changes. The author reportedly rejected requested deletions in part of the manuscript. Other Indian publishers, including Harper Collins, are now considered for the book's release, initially scheduled for November 10. The memoir is described as a personal and definitive account of her life and political experiences.
