PRAISE FOR River of Smoke
"On one level. [Rid of Smoke is a remarkable feat of research, s bringing alive the hybrid customs of food and dress and the competing \ philosophies 'of the period with intimate precision; on another it is a subversive act of empathy, viewing a whole panorama of world history from the 'wrong' end, of the telescope. The real trick, though, is that it is also fabulously entertaining."-FIM ADAMS. The Observer (London)
"Eloquent... Fascinating
[River of Smoke's strength lies in how thoroughly Ghosh fills out his research with his novelistic fantasy, seduced by cach new situation that presents itself and each new character, so that at their best the scenes read with a sensual freshness as if they were happening now. -TESSA HADLEY, The Guardian
"[This] vast book has a Dickensian sweep of characters, high- and low-life Ghosh conjures up a thrilling sense of place." —The Economist intermingling
PRAISE FOR Sea of Poppies
"Ghosh's best and most ambitious work yet... [He] writes with impeccable control, and with a vivid and sometimes surprising imagination." —The New Yorker
"A delight... [Ghosh is] a writer of uncommon talent who combines literary flair with a rare seriousness of purpose His descriptions bring a lost world to life."-SHASHI THAROOR, The Washington Post Book World
"Brilliant By the book's stormy and precarious ending, most readers will clutch it like the ship's rail awaiting, just like Ghosh's characters, the rest of the voyage to a destination unknown." -DON OLDENBURG, USA Today
