Set in Burma during the British invasion of 1885, this masterly novel by Amitav Ghosh tells the story of Rajkumar, a poor boy lifted on the tides of political and social chaos, who goes on to create an empire in the Burmese teak forest. When soldiers force the royal family out of the Glass Palace and into exile, Rajkumar befriends Dolly, a young woman in the court of the Burmese Queen, whose love will shape his life. He cannot forget her, and years later, as a rich man, he goes in search of her. The struggles that have made Burma, India, and Malaya the places they are today are illuminated in this wonderful novel by the writer Chitra Divakaruni calls “a master storyteller.”

可讀性極強,即使是關於曆史的描寫。看的第一本印度作者的小說,作為印度旅行讀物再閤適不過。
評分Brilliant but patchy performance. The great Irrawaddy and its people came alive in the book and I have fell in love with it.
評分作為小說覺得欠點簡潔和力量。但是把握瞭曆史很難得。寫得挺認真,也讓俺記住瞭很多..
