Set in Burma during the British invasion of 1885, this masterly novel by Amitav Ghosh tells the story of Rajkumar, a poor boy lifted on the tides of political and social chaos, who goes on to create an empire in the Burmese teak forest. When soldiers force the royal family out of the Glass Palace and into exile, Rajkumar befriends Dolly, a young woman in the court of the Burmese Queen, whose love will shape his life. He cannot forget her, and years later, as a rich man, he goes in search of her. The struggles that have made Burma, India, and Malaya the places they are today are illuminated in this wonderful novel by the writer Chitra Divakaruni calls “a master storyteller.”

too ambitious, too many characters that I don't identify with any, too eager bring in historical events. interesting multicultural family and mobility in se asia. "a developing awareness of the aspirations, defeats and disappointments of colonized peoples as they figure out their place in the world."

评分感恩節假期晚上看完仿佛自己和故事一樣老瞭一百年。敘事結構精妙，雖然有的時候時間流逝有點倉促，但是的確用人的故事跨越瞭一百年三地…Arjun的死彆，Dinu &Alison的生離，迴印度的充滿泥濘的路，和永遠的Rangoon…感覺自己緩不過來瞭。
评分故事不錯 作者的文筆一般
