Author: Gregory David Roberts

Shantaram is a mesmerizing journey through the underbelly of Bombay, as seen through the eyes of Lin, an escaped Australian convict. Roberts’ vivid prose brings the city to life, with its teeming slums, colorful characters, and pulsing energy. I was captivated by Lin’s transformation from fugitive to slum doctor to gangster, feeling every triumph and heartbreak along the way. This epic tale of love, redemption, and self-discovery left me pondering the nature of good and evil long after I turned the final page.

The burden of happiness can only be relieved by the balm of suffering.
