The Tea Planter's Wife by Dinah Jefferies

I loved this book! I wasn't sure when I read the title if I would but from the first page the book grabbed my attention and never let go. This book is full of detail and the reader can actually picture themselves there. I thought at one point fairly early I had the whole story figured out but boy was I wrong! I don't like books that are predictable and this one seemed to be going that way but took a whole new direction I wasn't expecting. It kept me turning pages!

I can honestly say I liked every character in this book. There were times though when I really wanted to just take Verity and shake her! The descriptions of the land and the people of that time period were rich and colorful and the reader can get lost in the vastness of this plantation and the wealth it held.

I highly recommend this book and cannot wait for another from this author. I was given a copy of this book by Blogging For Books in exchange for an honest review.
