review 1: After a slow start the story moves along well and keeps you interested its topic is still relevant today although the stigma regarding the girls is a far cry from what it was. While I enjoyed the journey the story took me on I was a little disappointed at the ending I felt that a few things were left untied so I have to assume how things played out but that's just me I do like a tidy ending even if its not the one I wanted. Having said that its a good read, enjoyable & kept my interest I would recommend it.
review 2: Brilliant book about the result of being half Indian, half British. Follows the lives of two girls whose father is a British tea farmer in the 1920's. He takes an Indian mistress and produces two girls. The other British residents view this as some... morething to be swept under the carpet, so the girls are sent to boarding school. This book shows how this effects the two girls and his mistress. I really loved the book and thoroughly recommend it. less
