Amitav Ghosh's new novel Ghost-Eye explores climate crisis but lacks prose depth

Amitav Ghosh's new novel Ghost-Eye, released in 2023, explores spiritual interconnectedness amid climate crisis themes, but suffers from clichéd prose. The narrative follows Dinu, who reflects on his past and his aunt's work with a reincarnated child, Varsha. Critics note that while the plot is intriguing, the writing detracts from the novel's powerful themes.
