A profound and absorbing saga from the Internationally Bestselling and Man Booker Prize shortlisted author

'Amitav Ghosh is such a fascinating and seductive writer… I cannot think of another contemporary writer with whom it would be this thrilling to go so far, so fast' The Times

January 2001: A small ship, led by wealthy Scotsman Daniel Hamilton, arrives in the Sundarbans, a vast archipelago of islands in the mythical river Ganges, a half-drowned land where the waters of the Himalayas merge with the incoming tides of the sea.

In the Sundarbans the tides reach more than 100 miles inland, and every day thousands of hectares of forest disappear only to re-emerge hours later. Dense as the mangrove forests are, from Hamilton’s point of view, it is only a little less barren than a desert.

The eccentric Scotsman and the scientists on board the ship disembark to study this little-known environment, and to trace the journeys of the descendants of this society. Their goal? To create a utopian society, of all races and religions, and conquer the might of the Sundarbans.

l have now listen to 5 of Amitiavs books and have been total absorbed in the relationships, the weaving of historical happenings through time and lands. The disscriptive narrative of places adverts of people and their relationships have made me feel as if l was there. l adored this book and the triology based around the opium trade.

beautiful, brutal, well written and absorbing

This novel has perhaps a slightly slow start but gradually draws you in as you get to know the characters and learn the fascinating history and culture of “the tide country” and a little of the biology of the river dolphins. I’d definitely recommend it and look forward to reading more by Amitav Ghosh.

Engrossing story set in the Bay of Bengal
