A review by geeth
The Glass Palace by Amitav Ghosh

2.0

I am very nuetral about this book. On one hand this is a beautiful sweeping epic about the turn of the 19th century Burma. The historical settings from Royal Palace to timber yards are esquisite and expansive. But i failed to find that one character that you were supposed to identify with and root for. That made the book kind of hacking emotions for me.
