Sea of Poppies

Across oceans and empires, destinies are forged and lives forever changed.

Set in the early 19th century, Sea of Poppies follows a diverse cast of characters whose lives converge on the Ibis, a ship bound for Mauritius. Amitav Ghosh weaves their stories of displacement, survival, and resilience against the backdrop of the opium trade, colonial ambition, and social upheaval in India. From indentured laborers to traders and rebels, each character grapples with identity, loyalty, and the forces that shape their fates.

Ghosh’s prose is rich and immersive, painting landscapes of beauty and brutality, while exploring themes of freedom, power, and human endurance. The novel balances historical detail with intimate human experience, creating a narrative that is both sweeping and deeply personal.

Epic, immersive, and emotionally resonant, Sea of Poppies is a journey across oceans and societies, capturing the human spirit amid the turbulence of history.
