joanner 's review for:
The Glass Palace
by Amitav Ghosh
Historical fiction at its best, this multi-generational tale starts off slow but sucks you in as each deep layer is unravelled gradually and precisely. At times the details can get exhausting, when you just want to know what happens next. However the author has really put a lot of research into this and we get to learn a lot if we give it time. Really amazing female characters written by a man and a gripping family drama set through pivotal moments in Asia's history. Amazing to read how the world wars had an impact on the eastern side for a change.
