MULTIPLE-AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR
A FABULOUS LOVE STORY, BASED ON THE TRUE EVENTS

1. "Browne writes in lush detail, evoking the people, places, and cultures of Scotland, India, and China in the late 18th century. She also displays great skill in expressing the subtleties of human emotions, from the tenderest passion to the deepest grief. Lachlan will experience both. Highly recommended." -- READERS' FAVORITE

“Fabulous and heartbreaking … fresh and authentic in every detail … it has to be the best book I have read about the British in India since M. M. Kaye’s "The Far Pavilions" – Dr Aileen Keegan.
