The first in a projected trilogy of historical novels, SEA OF POPPIES, by Amitav Ghosh, chronicles the voyage of the Ibis, a former slave ship currently owned by a British opium merchant. Bound for Canton with a cargo of coolies and opium, the vessel is a microcosm of mid-nineteenth century social history. Ghosh's diverse cast includes a fallen raja, half-Chinese convicts, a mulatto mate passing for white, religious visionaries, and more. The writing is as vibrant as the characters. Available in hardcover.
