Synopsis:
"At the heart of this vibrant saga is a vast ship, the Ibis. Her destiny is a tumultuous voyage across the Indian Ocean shortly before the outbreak of the Opium Wars in China. In a time of colonial upheaval, fate has thrown together a diverse cast of Indians and Westerners on board, from a bankrupt raja to a widowed tribeswoman, from a mulatto American freedman to a free-spirited French orphan. As their old family ties are washed away, they, like their historical counterparts, come to view themselves as jahaj-bhais, or ship-brothers. The vast sweep of this historical adventure spans the lush poppy fields of the Ganges, the rolling high seas, and the exotic backstreets of Canton."

Reserved for sherlockfan.

I do not expect to read the copy originally promised to her in a reasonable time and I'd hate to make her wait a very long time, so I decided to order one instead.

Thanks very much Boekentrol. The book arrived safely at least a week ago and I was too 'downtrodden' at the time to make a note of it. No! I exaggerate. Not really downtrodden - I am sure the honest members of our family would tell you that I've never been downtrodden in my life. They would more likely describe it as lazy, doing what I like doing rather than attending to urgent matters like writing thank you letters.
