Gun. A common word, but one that turns Deen Datta’s world upside down.\n\n\nA dealer of rare books, Deen is used to a quiet life spent indoors, but as his once-solid beliefs begin to shift, he is forced to set out on an extraordinary journey; one that takes him from India to Los Angeles and Venice via a tangled route through the memories and experiences of those he meets along the way. There is Piya, a fellow Bengali-American who sets his journey in motion; Tipu, an entrepreneurial young man who opens Deen’s eyes to the reies of growing up in today’s world; Rafi, with his desperate attempt to help someone in need; and Cinta, an old friend who provides the missing link in the story they are all a part of. It is a journey that will upend everything he thought he knew about himself, about the Bengali legends of his childhood, and about the world around him.\n\n\nAmitav Ghosh‘s Gun Island is a beautifully realized novel that effortlessly spans space and time. It is the story of a world on the brink, of increasing displacement and unstoppable transition. But it is also a story of hope, of a man whose faith in the world and the future is restored by two remarkable women.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ghosh, Amitav","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43038643683405,"sku":"CONF20260526","price":120.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/3856\/4685\/files\/9781473686670_20260510_161158.jpg?v=1779792828","url":"https:\/\/readmatter.co.za\/products\/buy-gun-island-amitav-ghosh-conf20260420222","provider":"Readmatter","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
