Synopsis of Un océan de pavots
En 1838, el Ibis, un antiguo barco de transporte de esclavos convertido en navío mercante, zarpa de Baltimore hacia Calcuta para recoger a los coolies que serán trasladados a la isla Mauricio. A bordo viaja un heterogéneo grupo de personas: Deeti, una campesina arruinada; Kuala, su amante; Paulette Lambert, una francesa que se hace pasar por india para huir de un matrimonio concertado; y Jodu, marinero y hermano de leche de Paulette. En este contexto, la novela explora temas de identidad, clase social y la complejidad de las relaciones humanas en un mundo en transformación. La prosa de Ghosh es rica y evocadora, transportando al lector a la época y lugar de la historia.
