Book Review of The Sandalwood Tree

The Sandalwood Tree
knitter avatar reviewed on + 64 more book reviews


I love books that take place in foreign lands and this one occurs in India, both in 1947 during partition and 1856-58 during the Sepoy Uprising. The two time periods are united by the occupants of the same bungalow and the journals which are hidden and then found. Yes, there are love stories, but this is not a romance. In fact, you might say it is a mystery within a social studies book written by someone whose writing earns her 5 stars from me.
