  1. Shipra Sharma –

    A unique perspective on environmental issues, linking history and present-day crises. I didn’t agree with all the points, but insightful.

  2. Anmol Bansal –

    Ghosh’s writing is beautiful, and the message is urgent. A must-read for anyone concerned about the environment and social justice.

  3. Vipin Arora –

    This book is a wake-up call. Haunting and brilliant. It connects colonialism to the present day with devastating clarity.

  4. Nishant Khanal –

    A powerful and unsettling exploration of colonialism’s legacy. It made me rethink everything. Highly recommend, though disturbing.

  5. Apurv Chaduvula –

    This book changed my perspective on climate change. A bit overwhelming but ultimately hopeful. The nutmeg’s curse is real!

  6. Ranjan Kumar Jha –

    Interesting premise, but the book felt a bit disjointed. Some connections felt forced. Still, worth a read for a new perspective.

  7. Chopperla Naga Bhushanam –

    Found it repetitive in places. The core message is crucial, but could have been delivered more concisely. Still a solid read.

  8. Arpita Tripathi –

    Ghosh connects nutmeg’s history to modern crises. Thought-provoking but dense at times. A worthwhile, if challenging, read.

  9. Kratik Gupta –

    A challenging read, but worth the effort. Ghosh’s insights are profound. It left me with much to contemplate, though bleak.

  10. Jatin Bajpai –

    I appreciated the historical context, but the book was quite academic. A bit dry for my taste, but informative nonetheless.

  11. Rohan Sharma –

    I wanted to love it, but it was slow-paced. The ideas are important, but the execution fell flat for me. I struggled to finish.

  12. Shabbir Ahmed –

    Ghosh is a master storyteller. The book is complex, but rewarding for those willing to delve deep. A very important book.
