À propos de cet audio
In a time of colonial upheaval, fate has thrown together a diverse cast of Indians and Westerners, from a bankrupt Raja to a widowed tribeswoman, from a mulatto American freedman to a free-spirited French orphan. As their old family ties are washed away, they, like their historical counterparts, come to view themselves as jahaj-bhais, or ship brothers. An unlikely dynasty is born, which will span continents, races, and generations.
The vast sweep of this historical adventure embraces the lush poppy fields of the Ganges, the rolling high seas, and the crowded backstreets of Canton. But it is the panorama of characters, whose diaspora encapsulates the vexed colonial history of the East itself, that makes Sea of Poppies so breathtakingly alive - a masterpiece from one of the world's finest novelists.

Lyrical and intriguing
I enjoyed this book, and am glad for the book club that brought it to my attention. I found the characters a bit hard to distinguish at first (as often happens with audiobooks), but eventually all was clearer. I’ll read more from this author.

Horrible Narration!
I rarely write reviews, but I had to comment on the narration of this audio book. A great story DESTROYED by the narrator.
I can’t believe a Hindi speaking narrator couldn’t be found to read this book. The accents and word pronunciations were atrocious.
