4.0 out of 5 stars A novel (!) possibility in medical research, 24 Aug 2001
Switching between present day New York, India, and the India of the late 19th century, a highly original conspiracy to cure a disease via a route which forces various protagonists to meet in unorthodox fashions for the purpose of which eludes them. Amitav Ghosh has provided a fun book with enough twists and surprises to satisfy the most cynical reader. The most interesting question is its genre, some sci-fi, much thriller, a fusion of fact/fiction.
