A great novel which tells one many things about harsh religious practices, prejudices, trading practices, colonial ambitions of Europeans in general and Portuguese in particular, harsh life in the ship voyages and so on ...............during 15/16th century.
I have not read the original but felt the translated prose to be very smooth flowing and natural.

Fast paced and a very easy read which gives one a window into the past

I had moderate expectations from this book and I wasn't disappointed, rather I was pleasantly surprised. This book is more character and atmosphere centered than it is about the plot, although that's not bad either. It was quite an endearing read and I found myself eager to keep reading on. Overall, I would recommend it to someone who wants to get a glimpse into the everyday life and society of 16th century Portugal and India. Although be forewarned that it comes with quite a bit of gore and cruelty, but I suppose those are the vices of the middle ages.
