Description
September 1838. A storm blows up on the Indian Ocean and three ships--the Ibis, the Anahita and the Redruth--and those aboard are caught in the whirlwind. River of Smoke follows the fortunes of these men and women to the crowded harbours of China where they struggle to cope with their losses--and, for a few, unimaginable freedoms--in the alleys and teeming waterways of nineteenth-century Canton. Written on the grand scale of a historical epic, River of Smoke, book two in the Ibis trilogy, will be heralded as a masterpiece of twenty-first-century literature.

Great read but pay attention
This is a good book. Let me say that from the start. I read Sea of Poppies and I loved it. I loved it because it was engaging and filled with plot and twists and turns.
If that book is hot, then this one is thanda. There is less of plot and a lot of deliberation mostly on the philosophical aspects of trade.

All Bound for Canton!
River of Smoke is a cultural bonanza where people from different walks of life and varied nationalities come together to from a whole to create an amazing reading fiesta cultural quirks. It's a fitting sequel to Sea of Poppies with the same fluid prose, attention to details and a wonderfully crafted story within the historical epoch it espouses.
Set just before the first Opium Wars of China, the story has moved on from the stormy waters of Bay of Bengal to the “fanqui” town of Canton where ...

On the Opium Trail
'River of smoke' is the second installment of the fabulous Ibis trilogy by Amitav Ghosh. It follows the lives of the 'jahaj-bhais' aboard the famed Ibis setting off on a migratory journey to Mauritius. Although the Ibis plays less of a role here than it did in the 'Sea of Poppies' much of the same cast of characters exist and are joined by a few more.
