rianlion 's review for:
The Glass Palace
by Amitav Ghosh
The scope of this book was a lot bigger than the brief review indicated. It spanned a little more than 100 years, from deposing King Thebaw of Burma and exiling him and his family to India, up until pretty much modern day. Sometimes the shifts in narrative gears can be a little jarring -- from extremely close-up narrative to skipping over years, passing over the deaths of some (minor) characters, looping back to recover the histories of others.
