The Kashmir Shawl by Rosie Thomas

3.0

---

While I enjoyed Mair's journey to Kashmir to trace the origin of the shawl she found among her grandmother's things and the unfolding history behind it, there were a few things I found to be unbelievable and too many peeps into bedrooms. Would a missionary's wife really have a guiltless affair with another man but then not run away with him because she felt she had to do her duty as a missionary's wife? Would Mair take up with her good friend's husband while they were separated? Well, maybe so, in a romance novel.

This was an audio version read by Nerys Hughes who is a good narrator.
