Uncomfortable but capturing read. Not a wholly satisfactory ending.

Got me gripped this one. Don't know if I like it! Thriller crime drama central.

This book describes the discoveries made by two very different characters as they visit the tide regions of Bengal. The scientist and the translator navigate other new relationships and ways of living as they make deep personal discoveries. There is much rich description of the tide countries, flora and fauna and one can't feel feeling you've take a trip out to sea too. Local politics, religion and traditions are all touched on in a gentle but sometimes stark way. The story line intertwines present time and a historical narrative and the drama continues right to the last few pages. Really enjoyable read, so pleased I picked it up.

Loving this book so far, a lot of depth.

I think this is a book for young teens to adults. A very short simple text really, but full of deep meanings as the story unfolds. The simple writing reflects the girl and the snakes maturity and development.

Awesome read, I want more! Occasionally thought I was in a great children's fantasy world then the odd happening would bring me back to reality. Waiting for the twist until the last couple of chapters. Great character development, enthralling. I need the sequel now!! Warring worlds, Fantasy, Adventure, Feminist themes, Gods, Lore
