Description
Charlotte Lawrence returns to Sundar, the tea plantation owned by her family, after eleven years in school in England. She finds an empty house and learns that her father has died, leaving her his estate. As part of his wishes, she is expected to marry Andrew McAllister, the younger son from a neighbouring plantation. Charlotte pleads with Dan Fitzgerald, the assistant manager, to teach her how to run the plantation while she gets to know Andrew. Despite initial reluctance due to local attitudes towards women in management roles, Dan agrees. Charlotte's friend Ada Eastman, who has journeyed to Darjeeling to marry Harry Banning, a neighbour's owner, becomes her chaperone and friend. As Charlotte navigates her new life on the plantation, she must balance her own desires with the expectations of those around her.
