Synopsis

A sweeping, breathtaking story of love and betrayal from the internationally bestselling author of The Tea Planter's Wife

Ceylon, 1935. Louisa Reeve, the daughter of a successful British gem trader, and her husband Elliot, a charming, thrill-seeking businessman, seem like the couple who have it all. Except what they long for more than anything: a child.
     While Louisa struggles with miscarriages, Elliot is increasingly absent, spending much of his time at a nearby cinnamon plantation, overlooking the Indian ocean. After his sudden death, Louisa is left alone to solve the mystery he left behind. Revisiting the plantation at Cinnamon Hills, she finds herself unexpectedly drawn towards the owner, Leo, a rugged outdoors man with a checkered past. The plantation casts a spell, but all is not as it seems. And when Elliot's shocking betrayal is revealed, Louisa has only Leo to turn to . . .

Goodreads review by Kirstie on June 09, 2018

3.5/5. She has a style that is distinctive. Usually well to do family in an exotic location and usually set in he mid last century. I enjoy her writing but would like it from maybe a servants point of view or maybe a poor person. This one has hints of modern times as dealt with divorce and illegitim......more
