The latest book by one of my favourite authors. Moving between colonial India, 1930s Edinburgh, and the present, a sad story about a woman put away by her family and discovered sixty years later by her great niece who had no prior knowledge of her existence. A sad tale of two sisters, rivalries, betrayal and, in a strange way, redemption. A beautifully written book.
