Thank you Flipkart........ 😊😊

Worth for money

The service is undoubtedly smooth and hassle free on the part of flipkart. The book on was another level for me though. For the first time in my life did I see a writer put in so much research into his book. Hats off Sir. The insight and feel is beyond explanation, but one place where I felt somewhat betrayed was the conclusion. But for a proper epilogue the book has worked wonders in it's own ways. Thanks.

After finishing the book I was brushing my fingers through the pages. It seemed like I had been reading it since ages, even though I started reading it just few days back. It left me mesmerised. Made my mind a globetrotter whose long journey at last came to an end completing a circle. An awesome work by Amitava Ghosh, knocked me out once again after "The Hungry Tide". It is LITERATURE at its best. The true class. Unlike regular thrillers or the modern pop-corn type novels which we find at eve...

After finishing this book, I was left awed by the vastness of this wonderful work of literature. It takes you for a journey for a time spanned more than 100 years, through some exquisitely portrayed characters, in the mystique place, Burma. It tells the story of a moving time and how the life the characters changes with time. In the course of the story, you get involved with different characters, each of which has its own shed, each shines in its own style. Unlike other historical novels, it ...

I loved the unbiased, yet sympathetic manner in which each character and associated perspective is dished out. This is my first read of Amitava Ghosh and I am Hungry for more.

Flipkart as usual, is absolute pleasure to order from. Remarkable service.

This is one book that i needed to savor and think about when i finished it, for atleast a while. The characterization and the landscaping is so rich, connected and overwhelming, that the losses struck me as mine own, and the celebrations as my own joys.
It is rambling story of a Burma before and after British invasion, and an India in the throes of independence movement; spanning well across 3 generations, and spilling about a bit as well. I do not want to summarize the plot here, primarily b...

This book takes you to an interesting journey. The story is so pictorial that you actually imagine the scene happening in front of you. My best section was the how the palace was raided and the elephant forced to death.....such gripping novel, quick paced and very smartly knitted. I am now a big fan of Amitav Ghosh

Awesome

In the era of Hinglish, this book gives pure unadulterated flavour of English. A must read for people who understand and appreciate language in its purity. The backdrop of the plot is nostalgic, especially for a person like me who is familiar with both Konkani and Myanmar culture.
