A sweeping, breath-taking story of love and betrayal from the Number One Sunday Times bestselling author of The Tea Planter's Wife. Ceylon, 1935.

After his sudden death, Louisa is left alone to solve the mystery he left behind.

This was a wonderful ‘palate cleanser‘ - sometimes you just need a bit of #fluffyfiction don‘t you?!

As always with these books, it was a little bit predictable and you always know there‘s going to be some sort of happy ending, after a few challenges along the way for the MC. Perhaps that ending was a little bit rushed this time, but that didn‘t spoil my enjoyment.

Meh

so-so

I read this book for #theunreadshelfproject2021 bonus challenge On Your Unread Shelf Longer Than 1 Year because I won a physical ARC of this book from a Goodreads giveaway in 2018. I‘ve owned this book for 3 years.

Meh

so-so

Louisa, husband Elliot dies unexpectedly, his secret life is revealed, and whole the story finds Louisa trying to cope with all this. There is an inadequately mystery of missing funds and some shifty characters running around, popping up now and again to do shady things. This part of the story line fell flat. Louisa and Leo, friendship/romance was sweet the the descriptive detail about the country was bright and vivid. Over all it was a okay read.
