«The Tea Planter's Wife» is the historical and romantic novel by Dinah Jefferies, published by Penguin Books in paperback (386 pages, in English).
In the 1920s, Gwendolyn Hooper, a nineteen-year-old English girl, marries a wealthy widower who owns a tea plantation in Ceylon. Excited to be the perfect wife, she soon clashes with the hostility of the workers, the distrust of the neighbors and the silences of her husband: a dusty trunk of dresses and a tombstone covered in weeds point to a hidden past. When she finally seems to find her place, a disaster forces her to make a terrible decision and to keep a secret that threatens to come to light.
