The Hungry Tide

I've just finished reading THE HUNGRY TIDE; Amitav Ghosh's newest novel, which is set in the Sunderbans and, among other things, is about the fresh-water dolphins that some have reported seeing in the Ganges.

It's beautifully written, and made me want to be there. What a sense of romance he has!

If you're not familiar with Amitav Ghosh, you might also look for his book, THE GLASS PALACE.
