What could be better than a tea plantation in Ceylon? Or what we now call Sri Lanka? The story centers around an English girl who marries and moves to Ceylon to her husbands tea plantation.
Without getting overly involved it conveys the troubles between the owners, the workers, the natives, and the overseers. Add to that a small "mystery" and a bit of romance.
It did my heart good to lose myself in this book for a couple days.
I recommend this book if you are a lover of historical fiction!
