Daniella Ferretti / Financial Times Books / The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny by Kiran Desai

Daniella created this illustration for the Financial Times and its Books section.
“The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny” by Kiran Desai is a modern Indian love story set between Allahabad and New York, exploring how a contemporary couple navigates love, identity, and the clash between Indian tradition and modern life.
The idea was to reflect this duality of places and bring the atmosphere of India to life through the color palette.
The article was published in the print version of Financial Times Weekend and also online.
