Amitav Ghosh's Sea of Poppies,the first volume in his "Ibis Trilogy", revisits in new, breathtakingly detailed and compelling ways some of the concerns in his earlier novels. Among these are the incessant movements of the peoples, commerce and empires which have traversed the Indian Ocean since antiquity; and the lives of men and women with little power, whose stories, framed against the grand naratives of history, invite other ways of thinking about the past, culture and identity.
