The Girl from the Tea
Garden by Janet MacLeod Trotter is the third book in the India Tea series.
The story centers around Adela Robson, an Anglo-Indian girl, who dreams of life
on the stage. When she meets the handsome Sam Jackman, she sees her dream
coming more of a possibility. She seems to be at the height of society until
she meets a charming yet spoiled prince and everything seems to fall apart.
She soon finds herself in England, a country she doesn’t know. Will she have
the courage and bravery to see through the bad times? Will she be able to return
to her true home?
The Girl from the Tea
Garden is set at the end of British rule in India, the turbulent political
and social times are heavily felt as well as the outbreak of World War II. I
enjoyed seeing World War II outside of the events in Europe. The author touches
on events which occur in India during the war. I enjoy reading books which take
the reader to a different part of the world and tells a story of what happened
there while the war was going on. When I requested this book, I wasn’t aware it
was the third in the series. However, the story was great to read and if there
were any references to the first two books, they were subtle enough that it
didn’t take away from the story. Now having read this book, I would like to
read the first two and then read this one again. The author’s descriptions of
the time and places were exquisite. If you enjoy historical fiction, you will
enjoy The Girl from the Tea Garden.
