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.”

推进速度可真是流畅~~最近对印度次大陆的小说，好着迷。。。
评分too ambitious, too many characters that I don't identify with any, too eager bring in historical events. interesting multicultural family and mobility in se asia. "a developing awareness of the aspirations, defeats and disappointments of colonized peoples as they figure out their place in the world."
评分这书前半部分给我感觉也就一般，小恋爱小纠结。但是后半部分历史的宏大感就出来了，有种时代洪流下身不由己的感觉。印度殖民时期，二战，缅甸军政府（最后连昂山素季都出现了这不科学） 好吧对于history romance这种题材我果然只看history不看romance……
评分the novel of Burma, India, the wars through the generations of the locals
评分感恩节假期晚上看完仿佛自己和故事一样老了一百年。叙事结构精妙，虽然有的时候时间流逝有点仓促，但是的确用人的故事跨越了一百年三地…Arjun的死别，Dinu &Alison的生离，回印度的充满泥泞的路，和永远的Rangoon…感觉自己缓不过来了。
