Publisher's Summary

A gripping story of love and rivalry from the internationally best-selling author of The Lavender Keeper.

Charismatic womaniser Jack Bryant has the world at his feet, but when trouble catches up with him he's forced to flee Penzance for good.

Honest Ned Sinclair is on a family adventure in Rangoon when he is dealt a bitter blow. With all the odds against him, he risks his life in a desperate bid to escape.

Both men hope to start their lives anew, seeking their fortune in India's fields of gold. Their paths collide in the colourful city of Bangalore, where they form a friendship like no other.

In the years that follow, they remain inextricably bound by a dark secret while their love for the same woman threatens to tear them apart.

From the windswept cliffs of the Cornish coast to the gold mines of Southern India, this is a story of high adventure, devastating tragedy and enduring love.

Best story ever

I enjoyed this book to the last moment. It was very eye opening about me Mining in India and life in Imperial India. I became very attached to all of the characters.

Thank you for not letting me return this novel!!

I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was very positively written however I was taken back by what happen to one of the main characters.

I wasn’t able to return this and so glad I didn’t. Loved it dearly.

Thoroughly enjoyable

I chose this book with some trepidation as I was not sure I would like the narrator. However I was proved totally wrong. I could not stop listening to this absorbing story and didn’t want it to end. Thanks so much, I can’t wait for her next new release.

One of her best

Loved listening to this story. Fascinating pictures painted of life before independence in India and the British Way of life and privilege. I found it spell binding. Sorry when it ended.
