quech87 's review for:
The Glass Palace
by Amitav Ghosh
Books like these will keep bringing you back to historical fiction. Sweeping view of colonial history of India, Burma and Malaysia under the British Raj is the background to this story of 4 generations. The book touches many chords including imperialism, nationalism, immigration, nostalgia, dictatorship and exile. But at the same time it never loses the connect with basic human emotions which keeps the story engrossing along with some powerful characters. Some of the pages and paragraphs seem rushed and at times characters are not well developed in a desire to show their end destination.
