About this listen
A profound, epic thriller set in Bombay—a standalone novel and a sequel to the international bestseller Shantaram.
The first glimpse of the sea on Marine Drive filled my heart, if not my head. I turned away from the red shadow. I stopped thinking of that pyramid of killers, and Sanjay's improvidence. I stopped thinking about my own part in the madness. And I rode, with my friends, into the end of everything.
Shantaram introduced millions of people to a cast of unforgettable characters through Lin, an Australian fugitive, working as a passport forger for a branch of the Bombay mafia. In The Mountain Shadow, the long-awaited sequel, Lin must find his way in a Bombay run by a different generation of mafia dons, playing by a different set of rules.
It has been two years since the events in Shantaram, and since Lin lost two people he had come to love: his father figure, Khaderbhai, and his soul mate, Karla, married to a handsome Indian media tycoon. Lin returns from a smuggling trip to a city that seems to have changed too much, too soon. Many of his old friends are long gone, the new mafia leadership has become entangled in increasingly violent and dangerous intrigues, and a fabled holy man challenges everything that Lin thought he'd learned about love and life. But Lin can't leave the Island City: Karla, and a fatal promise, won't let him go.
Fans of Vikram Seth, John Irving and David Mitchell will love Shantaram and The Mountain Shadow.

No disappointment in this sequel!
Possibly the best two books I’ve ever listened to. Pretty sad they’re finished! But will now watch the series on Apple TV

Great narrator performance
Great accents and voices for many complex characters.
Only negative is some elements of the story go a bit deep / ethereal away from the story. The storyline itself is compelling and well written.

The characters and philosophy
Loved Carla’s character and delighted with the positive ending. Disliked the violence but understand it needed to be described to make the story

Ignore the other reviews and make your own mind up…
Loved this as much as I loved The Shantaram. Usually I’m put off by people using 100 words when they could make the point in 10, but this prose is poetry for the soul, heart and mind. Enjoyed this from minute one to hour thirty-odd.
“Truth is freedom of the soul” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
