About this listen
'Amitav Ghosh is such a fascinating and seductive writer… I cannot think of another contemporary writer with whom it would be this thrilling to go so far, so fast' The Times
January 2001: A small ship, led by wealthy Scotsman Daniel Hamilton, arrives in the Sundarbans, a vast archipelago of islands in the mythical river Ganges, a half-drowned land where the waters of the Himalayas merge with the incoming tides of the sea.
In the Sundarbans the tides reach more than 100 miles inland, and every day thousands of hectares of forest disappear only to re-emerge hours later. Dense as the mangrove forests are, from Hamilton’s point of view, it is only a little less barren than a desert.
The eccentric Scotsman and the scientists on board the ship disembark to study this little-known environment, and to trace the journeys of the descendants of this society. Their goal? To create a utopian society, of all races and religions, and conquer the might of the Sundarbans.

An enthralling experience
The novel itself is beautiful with such beautifully crafted detailed description of the characters and nature and history of Sunderban, Bengal.. Loved the text.
Now to come to the narration, its one of the most amazing audio-books I ever listened on Audible. The voice acting is amazing. I just got to know that Ranjit, the narrator had been part of Radio Mirchi. He is from Delhi, I don't know his Bengali connection but his Bengali pronunciation for few sentences / phrases present was like a native speaker! Really loved this work.
I have been planning to read this novel for a long time, but prefer audiobook over hard copy when it comes to English.
A must listen..
