4.0 out of 5 stars Review for White Poppy by Margaret Gaan, October 6, 2000

This review is from: White Poppy/Complete and Unabridged (Hardcover)

At first I didn't even realize this book existed on my home bookshelf. But I didn't have anything else interesting to read, so I tried it out, and once I started, I couldn't put it down.

What captures me in this book is that the setting and characters absorb me into it, it's so descriptive and captures each character's feelings and emotions. The plot is actually quite complex but the author makes you understand everything in it so you don't get confused or bored. Based on the history of the notorious opium trade, various characters involved in the hierarchy of different sides of the trade, China and England, try to make the world realize that opium is dangerous and deadly. They encounter many attacks because they possess this belief, and despite that there is evilness going on in the background plotting against their lives. From China there is a man named Jin-see who meets a man from England named Donald, they both set up an organization to abolish the trade of opium. Thisbook takes place over the lives of those people for about 30 years, introducing their sons and daughters involved in the abolition of this trade. find out more in this action-filled book.
