[The Shadow Lines (1988) is a Sahitya Akademi
Award-winning novel[1] by Indian-Bengali
writer Amitav Ghosh. It is a book that captures
perspective of time and events, of lines that
bring people together and hold them apart,
lines that are clearly visible from one
perspective and nonexistent from another.
Lines that exist in the memory of one, and
therefore in another's imagination. A narrative
built out of an intricate, constantly
crisscrossing web of memories of many people,
it never pretends to tell a story. Rather it
invites the reader to invent one, out of the
memories of those involved, memories that
hold mirrors of differing shades to the same
experience.]
