reviewed Sea of Poppies by Amitav Ghosh (Ibis Trilogy, #1)

Amitav Ghosh: Sea of Poppies (Paperback, 2008, Brand: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, Farrar, Straus and Giroux)

Great Story in Exotic Setting

I thoroughly enjoyed reading "Sea of Poppies". Especially, I liked the setting during the time of colonialism. Great also that the author included apparently authenic English words that were spoken during that time. Also, he added Bengali words and words from other Indian languages to the mix. Great read!
