"There is no denying Ghosh's command of culture and history. . . . [He] proves a writer of supreme skill and intelligence."--The Atlantic Monthly

"I will never forget the young and old Rajkumar, Dolly, the Princesses, the forests of teak, the wealth that made families and wars. A wonderful novel. An incredible story."--Grace Paley

"A rich, layered epic that probes the meaning of identity and homeland-- a literary territory that is as resonant now, in our globalized culture, as it was when the sun never set on the British Empire."--Los Angeles Times Book Review

"A novelist of dazzling ingenuity."--San Francisco Chronicle
