The shadow lines

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 II to the late twentieth century, through years of Bengali partition and violence, observing the ways in which political events invade private lives.

  • "Après l'épopée que présentait ##Les feux du Bengale##, voici, sur un ton plus lyrique, la chronique de l'exil sous toutes ses formes, volontaires où involontaires, à travers ces "lignes d'ombre" que sont les frontières. Grand roman tissé avec maîtrise et dont l'enchevêtrement même rend vivantes les différentes vies qu'évoque le petit garçon qui le raconte au premier plan."
  • "Via de ervaringen van verschillende leden van een Indiase familie wordt een beeld van de naoorlogse geschiedenis van het land geschetst."
  • "Follows two families in Calcutta, one English and one Bengali, as their lives intertwine in ways both tragic and comic."
  • "Social novel based on two families - one English and one Indian."
