A review by susanlawson
Flood of Fire by Amitav Ghosh

4.0

An immensely well researched conclusion to the Ibis Trilogy, based on the real events of the Opium Wars and exposing the corruption and arrogance of the British towards the Chinese population and indeed, their own Indian armed forces. A chain of coincidences brings together most of the characters from the original novel, Sea of Poppies and their stories intertwine and take some unexpected twists. A hugely satisfying and illuminating trilogy which I very much enjoyed.
