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!

Le livre sur l'artiste Jed conte l'histoire de l'homme moderne dans la societé française à Paris et dans la province. J'ai trouvé le livre intéressant et le livre anime à penser plus sur la vie moderne. Bien écrit!
