The Hungry Tide

Amitav Ghosh Yaʻel Akhmon

About this book

Off the easternmost coast of India lies the immense archipelago of tiny islands known as the Sundarbans. Life there is precarious, ruled by the tides and the constant threat of attacks by Bengal tigers. Into this small community come two seekers from different worlds, whose lives collide with tragic consequences.
