Dindy’s way of life is about to change for ever. She’s grown up on a tea plantation in Kerala but independence is coming, and the British, including Dindy’s family, are getting ready to leave India. Frightened at the prospect, Dindy takes her little brother out for an adventure, one that will put them both in real danger, and reveal all sorts of truths and secrets about the lives they have been living.
Elizabeth Laird describes colonial life very well indeed, and Dindy is a real and sympathetic character. A beautifully written and ultimately uplifting story about a fascinating period of history. ~ Andrea Reece
