Much of Ghosh‟s writing meditates on the arbitrary and vexing nature of national borders. This book is surely obsessed with more personal divisions between men and women. One of the major elements of this novel‟s plot is the story of Kanai‟s growing relationship with Piya. Another is Piya‟s developing understanding of Fokir. A third is Kanai‟s gradual transformation through his reading of his uncle‟s account of the “Morichjhapi incident” from some thirty years ago. The Hungry Tide seems almost intimate. Nonetheless, it shares Ghosh‟s concern for the individual against a broader historical or even, in this case, geographical – backdrop. It is a stunning novel of humane breadth which is epic in scope, sophisticated in its observations of people and their milieu, poetic in its evocation of the „terrible beauty‟ of the Sundarbans. Although the book focuses on certain issues of global concern, it offers no easy solutions. Amitav Ghosh seems, as always, to be more interested in people than in issues. His book is about the people of the Sundarbans and their heroic struggle for survival. His greatest strength lies in the way he maps the geography of the human heart and examines the nature of man‟s identity. However, Amitav Ghosh allows the country of the hungry tide to break down the barriers of his characters and their society through this book.
