Yes, it’s been a while.

And coincidentially I ‘ve been reading a couple of books set in Asia too.

Amitav Gosh’s A River of Poppies and its sequel, A Sea of Poppies.

It was interesting to learn from these historical novels that the mainstay of the British Empire’s leading trading entity, British East India Company, was narcotic drugs trade. And that there was such thing as “The Heroin Wars”, a battle to open up mainland China for the heroin market.

Well Paula, I ‘m glad that you are here, interacting with the JF “bookworms”.

PS. I am having a problem downloading The Art of Hearing Heartbeats but I will keep on trying. Please don’t remove it yet.

"A sea of Poppies", aw, the title sounds fantastic. I've never heard about "A river of Poppies " but it sounds worth reading.

You see, I am a sucker for historical Novels. I am going to check those out soon.
Nowonmai, thank you. It means a lot coming from you, I appreciate it, really.
