Sea of Poppies by Amitav Ghosh is a sweeping historical epic that plunges readers into the turbulent world of 19th-century colonial India and the opium trade. The novel opens just before the First Opium War, weaving together a vibrant cast of characters from diverse backgrounds—Indian peasants, runaway slaves, English traders, and opium farmers—all bound together on the ship Ibis.
Ghosh’s storytelling is rich and immersive, capturing the sights, sounds, and struggles of a time when empires clashed and ordinary people found themselves swept up in forces beyond their control. The novel explores themes of identity, colonialism, freedom, and survival with heart and precision.
