The Ibis Trilogy by Amitav Ghosh—comprising 'Sea of Poppies' (2008), 'River of Smoke' (2011), and 'Flood of Fire' (2015)—is a sweeping historical narrative that examines the interconnected forces of empire, trade, and migration during the Opium Wars of the nineteenth century. Blending meticulous historical research with rich linguistic and cultural detail, Ghosh reconstructs the global networks linking India, China, and Britain through the lives of vividly drawn characters aboard the ship Ibis. The first volume, 'Sea of Poppies', was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and became an international bestseller.
