Black Orchids is a profound and moving novel about the desire to feel comfortable in one's own skin. When Evelyn, a young rebel from a ruined family, marries the charming Emil, heir to an upper-class Sinhalese family, she believes her dream of living in England might finally come true. The family, now including their three-year-old son Milton, moves from Ceylon to London. However, it is 1950s England, and the country does not treat outsiders well, especially families with members of both black and white skin.
