A review by martyfried
The Glass Palace by Amitav Ghosh

3.0

This took me forever to finish. Part of the reason was that I go through audiobooks faster, because I can do other things at the same time, and this was not an audiobook. The other reason was that because it took so long, I started getting bored due to the difficulty of keeping up with all the characters. So, it took so long because it took so long?

There were a lot of good parts, and I learned a lot about the history of the area, mostly Burma, which was interesting to me because I know people from that area; my wife also grew up close to there in Yunnan, China. But to be honest, I was bored during a lot of the book, and just wanted to finish, but didn't want to abandon it.
