I liked The Tea Planter's Wife. The unanswered questions of Savi's intentions toward the various women in the story, Gwendolyn's interpretations of what was happening and had happened in the past, Laurence's not revealing the family history, Verity's treachery and
…more manipulations, the story of twins raised apart— all compose an interesting story. I liked the history of Ceylon that the book revealed. I was glad the book delved into, to some extent, the mistreatment of the workers. There certainly were "haves' and "have nots" in this system. I did lose my patience concerning the poor communication between Gwendolyn and Laurence, but perhaps that was how it was at that time. The book seemed a bit long, but not a bad read. (less)
