This book gives you a wonderful insight into the lifestyle in China during the war between Britain and China, and the struggle facing missionaries in a communist country. Intertwined through all this is a lovely story of forbidden love, and the struggle to find a compromise in an uncompromising situation. One of the best novels I have read from E.V.Thompson.
Mr Thompson, if you read this, please e.mail me with a list of all your books, especially the eighth book in the Retallick series. I am struggling to find more of your books to read.

A gripping tale of how a woman's life was out of her hands and directed by the men in her life. She was a sympathetic and likeable heroine
