The Secret Children

Samenvatting: The Secret Children (zoals op de achterkaft)

Assam, 1925. At home in the jewel-green hills of a tea-plantation in northern India, James MacDonald is one of the sons of empire who has no yearning for British shores. He loves India and is reluctant to choose an English bride from the eager crowds sent over. But when he takes a beautiful local woman as his concubine, he can little imagine what he has begun.
So starts the story of Mary and Serafina. Born of two worlds, accepted by neither. Growing up beloved but hidden away, their childhood is one of contradiction. It is only as the shadow of war falls and the turmoil of Indian independence heightens that the girls must face the truth and begin the search for somewhere to belong. As the sisters grow into women, they must risk everything and make choices with a legacy that will last a lifetime, and beyond.
