The Shadow Lines by Amitav Gosh is one of the most famous novels by the author. The major characters of the novel are the narrator himself, his dominating grandmother, his peculiar uncle, and the two women in his life. The novel is made of lives of characters living in three different countries namely- India, Bangladesh and England. Ghosh in his novel uses a intricate mold of going forward moving backwards and meandering in terms of narration of the time and gap. This is one of the best novels from the author and a must read.
