Explanation

Kiran Desai won the Booker Prize in 2006 for her novel 'The Inheritance of Loss,' which explores themes of globalization and post-colonial identity. She is the daughter of novelist Anita Desai (who was nominated but never won). This made them the first mother-daughter pair both shortlisted for the Booker Prize.
