Description
Ginny Dunbar's life is turned upside down when her artist lover exhibits a nude painting of her in a London gallery. Her mother's hopes for a society wedding are dashed, and she is forced to marry a tea planter from South India. As Ginny navigates the world of colonial expatriates, she finds it shallow and empty. However, her life is shaken when she meets Jag Mistry, who opens her eyes and heart. Set against the backdrop of World War 2, this poignant story explores themes of love, loss, betrayal, and redemption in the dying days of colonial India. Ginny must confront her fears and desires as she struggles to find happiness in a world that is rapidly changing. A powerful emotional love story, Kurinji Flowers is a heart-wrenching tale of one woman's journey towards healing and self-discovery.
