Aboard the Ibis, a ship sailing the Indian Ocean during the tumultuous nineteenth-century Opium Wars, a diverse crew—sailors, stowaways, coolies, and convicts—is bound together by fate. This vibrant saga follows Indians and Westerners, from a bankrupt raja to a widowed tribeswoman, a mulatto American freedman to a freespirited French orphan, as they forge unlikely bonds, becoming “ship-brothers” and creating a dynasty that spans continents, races, and generations. Their journey encompasses the poppy fields of the Ganges, the high seas, and the exotic streets of Canton. This historical adventure is a breathtaking portrait of a diverse cast whose experiences encapsulate the colonial history of the East.
