A review by premxs
Un déluge de feu by Amitav Ghosh

5.0

What a fitting end to the Ibis trilogy. I'll miss these characters, these utterly human carriers of history. Ghosh is a master storyteller, and he scours the yellowed pages of old to present a vibrant epic in blinding colour. From colonialism, globalization, slavery, "free" trade, to love, loss and evil, this book brings to close a trilogy of fiction that feel startlingly relevant and revealing. And of course, it helps that this tome is  a riveting narrative from start to finish.
