The Glass Palace - Amitav Ghosh |
|
 |
‘Ghosh is one of the most sympathetic post-colonial voices to be heard today. He looks at love and loyalty, and examines the question of Empire and responsibility, of tradition and modernity. This is a funny, sad, entertaining, wise and ultimately a hopeful book. I loved it.’ Ahdaf Soueif
‘Ghosh has established himself as one of the finest prose writers of his generation of Indians writing in English.’ Financial Times |
An extraordinary epic, THE GLASS PALACE is a masterful novel of love, war and family and presents us with a band of memorable characters, spread across Burma, Malaya and India, and across three generations before the door to Burma closes behind them, and the glittering light of that civilisation seems extinguished.
Amitav Ghosh is such a fascinating and seductive writer.., a deeply serious writer, sure of his human and historical insights and confident in his ability to communicate them. I cannot think of another contemporary writer with whom it would he this thrilling to go so far, so fast.’ The Times |
