The sharing of these emotions and lessons are served in a fantastic, smooth moving, fast paced read. No dawdling by the author at all - it starts from page one and every word, for me, was coming in fast and furious. In 90% of the books I read, I find myself bored, at one point or another, and starting to skim. There was no skimming, no confusion or lost thoughts for this reader - I loved it.And what I enjoy the most about this author - he has a unique ability of making every character come to life and he has a wild sense of humor doing it. Of course there's a "main" character but every one around the 'main' is an important, well developed addition and to jump into Graham Joyce's mind through his writing is a pleasure for me. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A traveller's tale with a difference. *by A***E on May 26, 2016* Graham Joyce has become my new favourite author. I have read 5 of his novels and each is unique in theme. With many authors , the reader approaches a new novel with certain expectations of the author's world view gleaned from previous novels. This is not the case with Graham Joyce. Each new novel explores a different aspect of the human experience, and does this with insight, humour and fine literary skill. Smoking Poppy is a great examination of family relationships, friendship and loyalty. Joyce examines how far a parent will go to save his child from a living hell in the golden triangle region of Thailand, and opium addiction.I thoroughly recommend this novel and others from the pen of Graham Joyce. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ a story you won't soon forget *by N***O on August 23, 2008* I've read a LOT of books about family relationships, but for some reason, this one tends to stick out. A bit mystical in tone at times, a father comes to recognize the fact that he's got one chance to redeem himself with his two adult children, both of whom have done some pretty weird stuff as a result of their alienation from their father. I can easily recommend this one -- it's tough, it's gritty at times, and yet you may find yourself blubbering like a baby by the end.Smoking Poppy tells the story of Danny Innes, who one day gets a phone call saying that his daughter Charlie has been arrested in Thailand. It seems that she's now imprisoned and may be facing the death penalty. Even though Charlie and Danny have been somewhat estranged for a while now (since Charlie went off to Oxford, it seems), Danny is off to see what he can do. He is accompanied by a friend, Mick, and his son Phil, who has channeled his alienation from his father into religious zealotry. Their arrival at the prison only brings disappointment...it seems that the woman being held there isn't his daughter after all; she's stolen Charlie's passport. Rumors say that Charlie trekked into the opium fields...and that's really where the story takes off.I won't say more, because it would spoil the read for anyone who may be interested, but Smoking Poppy was very well done. All of the characters were realistically written, the setting was exotic and real enough that you could picture yourself there. I couldn't put it down once I started.I wouldn't advise this for people who are happy when writers spell everything out neatly and cleanly; this is a book that requires reader participation and lots of thought.Overall, a fantastic story and one I won't soon forget. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/13282967-smoking-poppy](https://www.desertcart.in/products/13282967-smoking-poppy) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
