Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens
by Shankari Chandran
Chai time at Cinnamon gardens was not what I expected at all. I thought it was going to be a nice fluffy story about an old peoples home. I had started to read this earlier in the year and put it aside when my library books on order came in. After reading the recent ‘Safe Haven’ ( excellent and thought provoking story too)by the same author from my local library I decided I must finish reading Chai time at the Cinnamon gardens. I am so glad I have read both of them.
The reminder of the back stories of refugees and those in the nursing home is something I wish many would give some thought to. I have learnt a lot about the history of Sri Lanka and the Tamil people by reading this book. While they may be fictional characters I am sure they are the stories of real people. The fictional story delivers some history in an interesting way. Written in an entertaining and thought provoking style. Highly recommend.
