Description
Amitav Ghosh's sweeping saga transports readers to Burma during the tumultuous British invasion of 1885. The narrative follows Rajkumar, a boy whose fortunes rise and fall with the shifting political landscape, as he builds a vast empire in the teak forests. Central to his life is Dolly, a young woman from the Burmese royal court, whose memory haunts him and fuels his quest years later. This richly imagined novel explores themes of love, ambition, and the complex historical forces that shaped Burma, India, and Malaya, all rendered with Ghosh's signature storytelling prowess.
