A high-tech medical thriller, a scientific quest and a Victorian ghost story – as electrifying as The Hot Zone and as rich in its details as Possession.

Amazing Read
Excellent read. Amitav Ghosh’s portrayl of Kolkata is very refreshing and probably lends a good perspective to the various communities which have made Kolkata its home during the colonial period.
The story in itself is very thrilling and mysterious and keeps one guessing till the end ( Unless you read the end first). It is a historical fiction but can be called a ghost story because of the cult which it describes. A good book to read to pass the time and know Kolkata.
