About Sea of Poppies by Amitav Ghosh
Set just before the Opium Wars, Amitav Ghosh’s historical novel brings a diverse group of people together aboard the Ibis, an old slaving ship embarking on a tumultuous voyage across the Indian Ocean. Its crew and passengers come from different backgrounds and social positions, amid a period of colonial upheaval.
Moving from the Ganges poppy fields to the high seas and China, the story explores how old ties are disrupted and new bonds form among those sharing the voyage. It may appeal to readers of Indian and Asian historical fiction, especially those interested in colonial history and the human consequences of migration and displacement.
