Ceylon, 1930. Louisa Reeve, the daughter of a successful British gem trader, and her husband Elliott, a charming, thrill-seeking businessman, seem like the couple who have it all. Except what they long for more than anything: a child.

While Louisa struggles with miscarriages, Elliott is increasingly absent, spending all of his time at a nearby cinnamon plantation. After his sudden death, Louisa is left alone to solve the mystery he left behind. Revisiting the plantation at Cinnamon Hills, Louisa finds herself strangely drawn towards the ruggedly handsome owner Leo. When Elliot's shocking betrayal is revealed, Louisa has only Leo to turn to...
Dinah Jefferies has a remarkable gift for conjuring up another time and place with lush descriptions, full of power and intensity.
