A wonderous saga of a young woman, Gwen, who leaves everything she knows and loves in England to move to Ceylon with her new husband, who has been married before and is quite older. Blinded by love, Gwen is thrown into a new household, a new socio-economic structure, life with a husband with secrets and a sister-in-law who wants her gone. The story takes us through Gwen's life over the course many years. She grows in countless ways and must come to terms with the difficult choices she makes to survive in Ceylon and with her husband. A bit slow going at times, but I loved this rambling story.
Thank you Penguin's First to Read program for providing a galley in exchange for an honest review.
