Sea of Poppies by Amitav Ghosh

2.0

I might have enjoyed this more had it not been for the awfully sub-par narration in the Audible version. The narrator simply has no ear to convey this polyglot cast. He especially fails at portraying the Indian characters, mispronouncing such common names as Ravana and Benares and giving key figures accents that sound like some kind of cross between Jar Jar Binks and Peter Lorre. Stick to the print version of this one!!
