1920s. Nineteen-year-old Englishwoman Gwen marries Lawrence, the charming owner of a huge tea plantation in Ceylon. Gwen arrives at her husband's house full of hope and plans for the future. But life in Ceylon, contrary to expectations, turns out to be not so rosy. The discontent of the workers. Neighbors' rancor. The intrigues of the sister-in-law. But most importantly, the murky story of the death of Lawrence's first wife. Why is everyone so careful to conceal the circumstances of her death? Who is buried in an unmarked grave in the woods? Faced with the secrets of her husband's past, Gwen finds herself faced with a difficult choice.... A memorable, tender portrait of a woman forced to choose between marital duty and maternal instinct....
