Guardian Bookshop Notes:

A stunningly vibrant novel from the author of the internationally acclaimed bestseller "The Glass Palace". Set just before the Opium Wars, it follows the voyage and adventures of an old slaving-ship, the "Ibis", and its diverse inhabitants. It's a fascinating historical insight into the shocking colonial exploits in the East, with a panorama of characters whose diaspora encapsulates the history of the Orient itself. Perfect for reading groups, with an exotic setting and universal themes, it's the first in a trilogy. "The Glass Palace" sold over 400,000 copies.
