“Howe’s The Palace in the Jungle transports you to a beautiful world melding colonial Indian culture with magic realism, providing a satisfying follow-up to Sita and the Prince of Tigers.
The world explored in the earlier book is augmented by focusing on subsequent generations who find themselves living in the shadow of their forebears. In Howe’s rich narrative technique, characters within the main drama become narrators of individual tales. The result is a satisfying blend of story and meta-story, while the blending of fantasy elements
with the novel of manners enriches both genres.”
