![Sea of Poppies [Paperback] Amitav Ghosh](https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/W/IMAGERENDERING_521856-T1/images/I/91ON3Ike4kL._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
"Amitav Ghosh" has indeed created magic out of this book. His writing skills are just mindblowing & the way he has placed the incidents in proper order, is incredible! He sometimes takes you through the happy moments in his life & sometimes we also counter the sad moments. Overall it's as if you have been placed on a swing & you are swinging along with him. You laugh and cry with him.
Flaws to be mentioned, the author could have cut down on the erotic descriptions, which I found to be irrelevant. According to me, they simply added up to the volume of the book. However, keeping this aside, it's an amazing experience gained.

The paperback cover is not a thick one for this book.
Reviews on Gosh's other works are available on the last few pages.
The novel was boring in the beginning. Soon as I got engaged further into the story, it left me sorrowful for a historical period I do not know personally but have heard (Partition stories) from my grandparents and father.
Narration technique is much complex owing to a modern paradigm of Indian writing in English as it was with Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things.
Also, the story gets much more amusing that maintains a balance with the shock of an ending. The mystery is not to be realized and known until much later, until nothing can be done.

very bad printing. there was a lot of blank pages in between. there were around 25 - 30 blank pages. so it was basically useless and I had to buy another one from a bookstore since I need it for my studies.

A stunning narrative that flies through time. Deep and interesting characters of different generation and origin that together show that borders and distances mean nothing.Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 17 February 2022
