River of Smoke - A Novel (Ibis Trilogy) by Amitav Ghosh
 On the grand scale of an historical epic, River of Smoke book two in Amitav Ghosh’s Ibis trilogy follows  its storm-tossed characters to the crowded harbours of China.  There,  despite efforts of the emperor to stop them, ships from Europe and India  exchange their cargoes of opium for boxes of tea, silk, porcelain and  silver. Among them are Bahram Modi, a wealthy Bombay merchant, his  estranged half-Chinese son Ah Fatt, the orphaned amateur botanist  Paulette and a motley collection of others in pursuit of romance, riches  and a legendary rare flower. All struggle to cope with their  losses—and, for some, unimaginable freedoms—in the alleys and crowded  waterways of nineteenth-century Canton.
Last Man In Tower - Aravind Adiga
Terrific first novel WHITE TIGER deservedly won the Man Booker  Prize. This one is even better. The whole of Mumbai comes under his  microscope in the tale of a middle-class apartment block in a slummy  area—and what happens when a property tycoon bribes the various  inhabitants to leave. The result is as well-paced as any crime story,  but so much more. Every one of the huge cast of characters is  brilliantly drawnComing Coming Coming Coming Sooooooooon
