Milk Of Paradise

The cultural historian Lucy Inglis intersperses her wide-ranging history of morphine – a product subject to an insatiable demand like no other – with the stories of those whose lives it has impacted. Taking the reader from ancient Mesopotamia to modern America, Afghanistan and beyond, she explores the drug in all its guises, from poppy tears to heroin and from morphine to modern synthetic opiates.
