Title
The Hungry Tide: A Novel by Amitav Ghosh- Paperback
A Washington Post Book World, San Francisco Chronicle, and Chicago Tribune Best Book of the Year • A Finalist for the Kiriyama Prize for Fiction
The Hungry Tide by Amitav Ghosh is a captivating novel set in the Sundarbans, a vast and treacherous region in the Bay of Bengal, known for its unique ecosystem and perilous landscapes. The novel follows Piya Roy, a marine biologist of Indian descent, who travels to the Sundarbans in search of a rare and endangered river dolphin. Though she is American by upbringing, her Indian roots draw her to this remote and mysterious region. Piya enlists the help of a local fisherman named Fakir and a translator named Moyna, who become key characters in the unfolding drama.
As the story progresses, the novel weaves a complex narrative of adventure, love, identity, and history, with the backdrop of a harsh and unpredictable natural world. The characters must navigate not only the dangers of the natural environment, such as the threat of man-eating tigers and the unpredictable tides, but also the human emotions and tensions that arise as they get entangled in each other's lives. Themes of survival, the clash between modernity and tradition, and the relationship between humans and nature are explored in depth.
Amitav Ghosh masterfully combines elements of adventure and introspection, using the Sundarbans as both a physical and metaphorical setting where forces of nature and human decisions collide. The novel also delves into the history and political context of the region, linking personal stories to broader social and environmental issues.
The Hungry Tide is not just an adventure tale; it is also a meditation on the complexities of identity and belonging, set in one of the most fascinating and precarious regions of the world. Its literary accolades and recognition, including being a finalist for the Kiriyama Prize for Fiction, attest to its depth and resonance.
