A review by soliveri718
The Tea Planter's Wife by Dinah Jefferies
3.0
I finally finished this book after a month; usually I can fly through books but that was definitely not the case here. I have to say that I enjoyed reading a book that took place in Southeast Asia during the period right before WWII. It was interesting to see how the British interacted with the people in Ceylon as well as the cultural and racial attitudes of the day. That being said I found the book to be rather dry and slow to get going in the beginning.
Nevertheless the book did pick up and from there I was able to breeze through the rest of the story. On a whole I did not connect with any of the characters in the story. At times I found the main character Gwen to be likable. but at other times I felt that she was lacking. The story did keep me entertained though which is why I am giving it three stars.
