Summary
After the Second World War, Libby Robson leaves chilly England for India, and the childhood home where she left her heart and her beloved father, James fourteen years ago. At first Libby is intoxicated by India's vibrant beauty: the bustle of Calcutta, the lush tea gardens of Assam. But beneath the surface a rebellion is simmering: India is on the brink of Partition, and the days of British rule are numbered. As the owner of a tea plantation, James embodies the hated colonial regime, and Libby finds herself questioning her idealised memories particularly when she meets the dashing freedom fighter Ghulam Khan. As Partition looms, life in India becomes precarious for Libby, James and even Ghulam. And when James reveals a shameful family secret, Libby is forced to question her past and her future
