The first in an epic trilogy, Amitav Ghosh's Sea of Poppies is 'a remarkably rich saga . . . which has plenty of action and adventure la Dumas, but moments also of Tolstoyan penetrationand a drop or two of Dickensian sentiment' (The Observer [London]).At the heart of this vibrant saga is a vast ship, the Ibis. Her destiny is a tumultuous voyage across the Indian Ocean shortly before the outbreak of the Opium Wars in China. In a time of colonial upheaval, fate has thrown together a diverse cast of Indians and Westerners on board, from a bankrupt raja to a widowed tribeswoman, from a mulatto American freedman to a freespirited French orphan. As their old family ties are washed away, they, like their historical counterparts, come to view themselves as jahajbhais, or shipbrothers. The vast sweep of this historical adventure spans the lush poppy fields of the Ganges, the rolling high seas, and the exotic backstreets of Canton.With a panorama of characters whose diaspora encapsulates the vexed colonial history of the East itself, Sea of Poppies is 'a stormtossed adventure worthy of Sir Walter Scott' (Vogue).
