“Just started reading this book and am already buried in the story! Rich in information and great story-telling.wish i find time soon to finish it”
“Great book, about three generations in Burma,enjoy reading the novel,thanks to get information about this book ”
“ one more thing i must say about Ghosh he must have done lot of research before writing this book.”
“A well researched story. Debaiting the woes of human loyalty. Everyone can take something out of this. Also, great insight into the past glory of a closed nation - Burma,”
“the story was very epic type.. but not a great book.. not something i liked.. too much of 'sex and scandal' as the sub plot.. i didn't like it”
“Painstakingly researched, the most comprehensive history of an era hardly known outside its circle of influence. How many know of the migration from Burma to Bengal on foot? As has been said for a different author "the way history should be written"”
“personally, it is his second best work out of what I have read. In my opinion, the Hungry tide is better”
“Immaculate, gripping...a bool streching along the breadth of the World, the length of each character, and the depth of generations together....simply unbeatable craft of story telling...”
“Amitav ghosh is one meticulous researcher . I like his books cause he gives un heard of insights about India. It is a completely Different Reading experience”
“another marvelous piece by Amitav Ghosh... I never realised that I had completed reading about people from five generations until the end of the book... it seemed as if I just started..”
