catherineo 's review for:
The Glass Palace
by Amitav Ghosh
The frustrating thing about this book was that I enjoyed it. I dislike the style, too much history, not enough character development, too much telling and not enough showing. The book strays too far away from the emotions of the characters, but there' something about the writing that kept me reading.
It's a tale that passes through multiple generations of a sprawling family. There's something discomforting about attaching yourself to a character who grows old and eventually dies. It's a reminder that I too am growing older. One day I'll be old and grey and my life will pass into history.
