| Zusammenfassung: | "It is 1839 and tension has been mounting between China and British India following the crackdown on opium smuggling by Beijing. With no resolution in sight, the colonial government declares war. Flood of fire follows a magical cast of characters caught up in this maelstrom: an East India Company sepoy, an impoverished sailor and his lost love, and a determined widow. Set against the backdrop of the First Opium Wars, Flood of fire follows them on a journey form India to China, through to China's devastating defeat and Britain's seizure of Hong Kong. Flood of fire is a thrillingly realised and richly populated novel, imbued with a wealth of historical detail, suffused with the magic of place and plotted with verve. It is a beautiful novel in its own right, and a compelling conclusion to an epic and sweeping story - it is nothing short of a masterpiece." |
