The Hungry Tide
A Novel
Amitav Ghosh
A young American marine biologist searches for a rare species of river dolphin in the treacherous and lush Sundarbans islands where settlers fear drowning tides and man-eating tigers. She enlists the help of a local fisherman and a translator, but they soon become entangled in the powerful political tensions surrounding this isolated region. As they navigate the backwaters, they face personal and environmental challenges as fierce as the tides themselves.
