The Shadow Lines

Amitav Ghosh

earliest edition we have, 1988 John Murray Publishers Ltd, 2001 paperback

A King Penguin

This book is an excellent example of a unique narrative which most books lack. According to many literary sources this book do not intend to tell a story but rather invites the reader to invent one. The book have so many deep quotes that inspires such as:- NOBODY KNOWS NOBODY EVER KNOWS BECAUSE THERE ARE MOMENTS IN TIME THAT ARE NOT KNOWABLE.
