Praise for The Circle of Reason (- -)
More accessible than Salmon Rushdie, more Dickensian, full of sound and fury, and with a strong narrative (Lesley McDowell, Independent on Sunday)
PRAISE FOR SEA OF POPPIES (******)
'Sea of Poppies Boasts a varied collection of characters to love and hate, and provides wonderfully detailed descriptions of opium production ... utterly involving and piles on tension until the very last page' (Peter Parker, Sunday Times)
'A glorious babel of a novel ... marvellously inventive ... utterly involving ... The next volume cannot come too soon' (Sunday Times)
'An utterly involving book' (Sunday Times)
'This is a panoramic adventure story, with a Dickensian energy and scope' (Sunday Telegraph)
'Ghosh's narrative is enriched with a wealth of historical detail ... as well as intricate characterisation that makes interaction among the diverse group truly absorbing' (The Times)
'There can be fewer more exciting settings for a novel than a sea-tossed sailing ship ... Ghosh piles detail upon detail in a rumbustical adventure' (The Times)
'Ripping post-colonial yarn ... Ghosh spins a fine story with a quite irresistible flow, breathing exuberant life ... an absorbing vision' (Guardian)
A re-issue of the first novel from the internationally acclaimed prize-winning writer.
