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.

Humphrey is 🤌🏻
Another deep, poetic, masterpiece from Gregory, I did not want it to end. 11/10! And anything Humphrey narrates is perfection. He brings the story and the characters to life, every voice is distinct and it makes the story even more enjoyable!

Just as good
Both are an epic adventure that put you right in the thick of it. A sequel that lives up to shanteram in my humble opinion. Thankyou

Great sequel.
Enjoyed it just as much as the first one. The narrator is fantastic and it’s an incredible and redemptive story.

Carla and Shantarum’s new life
I lived through the two books and the fascinating life that goes on in Bombay. In 1968 on my honeymoon I was there and really didn’t understand what went on behind the scenes. Now I know. Both books were riveting. I do hope a movie is made of the ‘The Mountain’. I also hope GDR will carry on the love life.

An EPIC tale not to be missed.
The rich array of unique and intriguing characters woven throughout a meandering, slow moving epic story. Absolutely magical.

surprisingly good
After the great success of Shantaram i was ready for a mediocre second novel, but this stands on its own. And the narration divine!
