Sinopsis

A profound and absorbing saga from the Internationally Bestselling and Man Booker Prize shortlisted author 
'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. 
In The Hungry Tide, Amitav Ghosh presents a captivating blend of fantasy and literary fiction. This latest epic explores the complexities of life and family in the unique setting of the Sundarbans, making it a must-read for fans of profound, thought-provoking narratives. 
For fans of Salman Rushdie (Midnight's Children), Mohsin Hamid (Exit West), Abraham Verghese (The Covenant of Water), Sebastian Barry (The Temporary Gentleman), and Michael Ondaatje (The English Patient).
