review:
A stunningly clever book – Amitav Ghosh meets JK Rowling
It’s hard to explain how clever this book is. The intermingling of realism and magic is made possible by a narrative weaved perfectly into colonial history, with each character playing their parts and making it more plausible than the reality of the times the story describes. It will stay with me for a long time.
