The Shadow Lines by Amitav Ghosh
From the acclaimed author of Sea of Poppies, a novel weaving history and memory together to create a rare work that balances formal ingenuity, heart, and mind (New Republic)
Opening in Calcutta in the 1960s, Amitav Ghosh's radiant second novel follows two families--one English, one Bengali--as their lives intertwine in tragic and comic ways. The narrator, Indian born and English educated, traces events back and forth in time, from the outbreak of World War I to the late twentieth century, through years of Bengali partition and violence, observing the ways in which political events invade private lives.
