If you are like me, and will read ANYTHING set in India, then this is the book for you. I will say that I thought it wasn't as well written as some of my other favorites, however, the love story was sweet and I did enjoy it.

I really enjoyed this book, could be considered a little rambling but very relaxing.
This was a refreshing look at life in India and the history behind the tea industry. The interaction between Clarrie and her sister Olive over the years following the death of their father was quite interesting to follow.
I am looking forward to the next book in the series
I was provided a preview e-copy of this book from NetGalley, I was not required to post. Review and thi did not affect my opinion in any way

This book tells the tale of Clarissa and Olive Belhaven who grew up on their father's tea plantation in India. The two sisters return to England after their father's death and live with their cousins who forces them to work in their pub in Tyneside. Clarissa leaves their cousins by obtaining employment as the housekeeper of Herbert Stock while Olive is employed as a maid. The author pulls in the events at that time into the story. This is an interesting story set in that time period bringing in the plight of women at that time into a love story.
