The book is also a very personal look at Ghosh's own engagement with opium's hidden histories - this is at one level a writer's memoir, with deep insights into the process of writing the 'Ibis Trilogy', which comprises the novels Sea of Poppies, River of Smoke, and Flood of Fire, the publishers said. Smoke and Ashes is at once a travelogue, a memoir and an excursion into history, both economic and cultural. Ghosh said his new book is based on the "enormous quantities of material" he accumulated while researching the trilogy of novels he wrote between 20. Smoke and Ashes: A Writer's Journey Through Opium's Hidden Histories, published by HarperCollins imprint Fourth Estate, will be released on July 15. Noted author Amitav Ghosh explores the immense effect the opium trade has had on world history and how opium continues to impact our lives today in his upcoming book. ![]()
