The first volume of an epic saga-trilogy, which centers on the intertwined stories of very different people. All of them will be brought together by fate on the schooner Ibis, on which they will go to an unknown life. Bankrupt and lost everything, including honor, the Indian rajah, a young and carefree French orphan, escaped from the rite of burning Indian widow, a sailor-American, unexpectedly becoming an assistant captain, an apologist for a new religion .... All of them will go through adventures full of danger, trials and shocks before they dare to board the "Ibis". The poppy plantations, the dangerous streets of Calcutta, wealth, power, humiliation and families will be left behind. Freedom from their former bonds, hardships and misery beckons them all. The Sea of Poppies paradoxically combines the fascination of Rafael Sabatini's Captain Blood's Odyssey, the wisdom and depth of Abraham Verghese's The Dissection of Stone, and the panache of serious historical novels.
