"A sprawling, stormy, magnificent novel of India untamed." --O: The Oprah Magazine

"A certifiable page-turner."--Boston Globe

A Washington Post Book World, San Francisco Chronicle, and Chicago Tribune Best Book of the Year - A Finalist for the Kiriyama Prize for Fiction

Life is harsh in the Sundarbans, the treacherous islands in the Bay of Bengal where isolated inhabitants live in fear of drowning tides and man-eating tigers. Piya Roy is a young marine biologist, of Indian descent but stubbornly American, who has come here in search of a rare, endangered river dolphin. She enlists the aid of a local fisherman and a translator, and soon their fates on the waterways will be determined by the forces of nature and human folly.
