The Tea Planter’s Wife by Dinah Jefferies

First Impressions The Tea Planter’s Wife by Dinah Jefferies reminded me of The Memory Keeper’s Daughter, a parent faced with a terrible decision that leads to life-altering consequences. Although, unlike Kim Edwards’ novel Dinah Jefferies creates a dimensional world with a captivating setting of 1920s Ceylon. Impressions While Reading The Tea Planter’s Wife was pretty […]
