A review by dlrcope
Un déluge de feu by Amitav Ghosh

4.0

An epic tale of opium trade, nearing its end. The series as a whole is definitely a five star work. I adore Amitav Ghosh's careful writing. For me though this last book was the weakest of the three. The first part of the book has a theme around what was viewed then as a "medical condition". I was not in to that! The middle of the book is fantastic, continuing the plot and character development in a way that really pulls you in. The end is pretty good. After something close to 2000 pages in the whole trilogy it's hard to tie up every loose end just right. I hope they make a movie. It would be incredible!
