Jaipur, 1934
When Philip Grainger and Frank Fletcher met late at night on the edge of an indigo plantation in Gujarat back in 1916, and one of them handed a new born baby to the other and walked away, their stated intention was never to see each other again.
In Jaipur, 1934, almost eighteen years later, Philip’s daughter, Eleanor, is excited to learn that a new family has moved into the street where they live, and that the family has a daughter similar in age to herself.
When Frank Fletcher, having struggled for years to make a profit from his isolated indigo plantation, turns to exporting, he is encouraged by his exporter friend, Maxwell Anderson, to move his family to Jaipur. His daughter, Alice, hopes that at last she will make some friends.
But where there are secrets, someone invariably senses a secret, is determined to uncover it and use it to his advantage. Nothing stays hidden for ever…
Jaipur Moon, an unforgettable story of love and betrayal, is perfect for readers of Santa Montefiore, Ann Bennet, Dinah Jefferies, Kristin Hannah, Fiona Valpy and Rosie Thomas.
What readers are saying about Darjeeling Inheritance by Liz Harris, the first standalone novel in this series set in Asia.
Liz Harris has successfully transported me to 1930s India in her five-star novel set on a tea plantation in Darjeeling! I’ve read books set in colonial India before, but Harris has a superb gift in making life during the British Raj come to life…This is a fabulous novel that needs to top your list. (Goodreads review)
Darjeeling Inheritance is an entertaining, well-written historical romance, well-rooted in its geographic setting… Recommended for readers who want a well-constructed story set outside Europe or North America. Helen Hollick (Amazon Vine Voice)
An enjoyable read, full of romance, and with enough treachery and intrigue to keep interest throughout. (Historical Novel Society Review)
The dialogue captures the essence of the characters and the vivid description of the landscape foreshadows dangers lurking in the lush landscape. The depth of the story rises above most romances because it pulls no punches. Linnia Tanner (Goodreads review)
It is essentially a love story, but with secrets and betrayals, set in the Darjeeling area of India. The time period of the 1930s is vividly recreated by the author, along with rich descriptions of the tea estates for which the area is famous. T.F. White (Amazon review)
I absolutely loved it and whole heartedly recommend it. Sara (Amazon review)”
