The Glass Palace by Amitav Ghosh
5.0
It has taken me nearly 6 months to finish this book. I started after finishing Cutting for Stone and having been so swept up in that story, I couldn't seem to get into The Glass Palace.
At last, I finished this book and my only regret is to not have given it more attention early on. It spans the course of a lifetime of wars and follows the story of a family. It interweaves characters which can make it confusing to follow but ultimately, they all connect back.
This book is beautiful and tragic. Although it didn't bring me to tears like other books, it felt real and it is haunting.
