Although it is unfair that books I like sometimes come out in the UK before they do in the States, I don't really mind if they are easily imported.
As is the case with Amitav Ghosh's new novel Sea of Poppies, which I received in the post today.
I first read Ghosh a decade or so ago (the first book was The Calcutta Chromosome, which I probably came to by way of Eco), but didn't come to my current high esteem for the man until I read The Glass Palace, a brilliant roman fleuve which I cannot praise highly enough.
And now a new one.
Yay! |
