First UK Edition/First Printing with the correct statement on the copyright page; a Near Fine book in a Near Fine dust jacket. A handsome copy of this author's first novel. This book is in near fine condition with a square, tight binding and bright spine lettering on blue boards; moderate foxing to the page ends keeps it from being fine (foxing is common for the title due to a somewhat poor paper quality). Housed in a near fine dust jacket that shows very light rubbing to the spine ends and corners, and also one very small mark at the top of the spine, else fine. Not remaindered, not price clipped, not ex-library; protected in a mylar cover and shipped in a sturdy box.

Review
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)
