The Glass Palace by Amitav Ghosh
4.0

After a long time (Since Chanakya's Chant, to be precise) I've enjoyed reading a novel by an Indian author. Amitav Ghosh's Hungry Tide restored my faith in our desi writers and The Glass Palace reinforced the same.

It's an absolutely engaging read and yes, Ghosh can write. Loved reading it!


P.s: Not for people who don't enjoy lengthy descriptions and the FYIs Ghosh seems to toss about in his narration
