...presciently foretells the coming of the tall-masted ship that will reshape her destiny. Sitting in his Kolkata home, Ghosh describes her to TIME as the book's "mainsail, its guiding energy."

Ghosh has a talent - revealed not only in this novel but previous ones - for bringing to life through his characters worlds that have been long forgotten. We meet, among others, a freed American slave, an impeccably-mannered Bengali nobleman turned convict and a cross-dressing businessman who scans the stools of strangers for spiritual omens...

He is merely another in a sad and long string of con men who found a gimmick and capitalized on it, suckering those wannabes who are more interested in bragging rights than promoting a fresh, honest talent in the art world. Dead animals preserved in formaldehyde and a diamond-encrusted skull - is this even legal? Spin paintings done by studio assistants - give me a break; kids have amused themselves for decades creating identical masterpieces at fairs and school fund raisers. Susan H.
