Congress leader Sonia Gandhi's 544-page memoir, 'Belonging: A Journey of Love,' set for release on November 10, offers a personal account of her life from post-war Italy to India. The book details her marriage to Rajiv Gandhi, family tragedies, cultural adjustments, and reluctant entry into politics driven by heartbreak and loss. Gandhi describes the memoir as a tribute to her family's humanity, aiming to address misconceptions and share deeply private experiences she had long guarded.
