Trade Winds to Meluhha is a wonderful story. The amount of detail that has gone into bringing this story to life is amazing. There is no question the love and care Davé put into his work. The research alone must have been exhausting! The settings are vivid and the characters are well drawn. There are times when the plot keeps you on the edge of your seat! There are some slow points, but push on through it's definitely worth finishing.This is what I think readers won't like, and it pains me to say because I have no doubt in my mind that Vasant Davé's intelligence far exceeds mine. I speak one language, marginally at times, yet I'm sure that Vasant speaks several and for that I am in awe of his ability. However, I feel the novel is lacking from and American English standpoint and creates a stiffness to the narrative.All in all a wonderful story, one that I would like my older children to read as I feel it has some historical as well as entertainment value!What does Momma Think?Momma gives Trade winds to Meluhha by Vasant Davé  3 cookies!
