One of my favourites. I learned so much. Epic, historical, spanning, full circle, familial, clever.

This book has the power to take us back to our origins, in this case, the glass palace brought me back to Macondo. Despite, their many travels there was so much of the mysteries of life at the edge of the natural frontier.

A satisfying read. I am grateful to Ghosh for not giving in to the urge to give us clean, tidy endings. The complexities of the family made the story feel authentic and made it worth the read.
