Another completely engrossing and very well written novel from Linda Holeman. She has become one of my most favorite authors. With wonderful, fully developed characters and absorbing storyline, the book is set in India in the late 1800's. Ms. Holeman completely immerses the reader in the sights, sounds and smells of the country. Every book written by Ms. Holeman is an adventure, and I'm always sad when I've come to the end of the journey. I can't wait to read her latest, "The Saffron Gate". Very, very highy recommend.
