"River of Smoke" is the second book in the Ibis trilogy by acclaimed author Amitav Ghosh. Set in the nineteenth century, the story begins with a storm in the Indian Ocean that affects the lives of those aboard three ships: the Ibis, the Anahita, and the Redruth. As they navigate the tumultuous waters, their destinies converge in the bustling ports of China, specifically the city of Canton.
The novel delves into the lives of these men and women as they grapple with their losses and discover unexpected freedoms in the vibrant and chaotic alleys and waterways of Canton. Against the backdrop of nineteenth-century China, Ghosh weaves a sweeping historical epic that explores themes of colonization, trade, and cultural exchange.
"River of Smoke" is lauded as a masterful work of twenty-first-century literature. Ghosh's meticulous research, richly drawn characters, and vivid storytelling transport readers to a bygone era. The book offers a panoramic view of a complex and fascinating period in history, capturing the complexities of relationships, the challenges of navigating cultural differences, and the enduring quest for freedom.
As the second installment in the Ibis trilogy, "River of Smoke" continues the captivating saga initiated in "Sea of Poppies" and sets the stage for the final book in the series. It stands as a testament to Ghosh's skill as a storyteller and his ability to illuminate the past while reflecting on its resonance in the present.
