Marriage to a man she barely knows. Exile to a country she doesn't know at all

An emotional love story set in the last days of colonial India

After an abusive relationship with a predatory older man, debutante Ginny Dunbar is publicly disgraced when her artist lover exhibits a nude painting of her in a smart London gallery. All her mother's hopes for a society wedding are dashed until she lowers her sights and pushes Ginny into a hasty marriage with a tea planter from South India.

Colonial life doesn't sit well with Ginny. She finds the world of the expatriate community shallow and empty. Caught between fear of and fascination for India and its people, her world is shaken when she meets Jag Mistry, who opens her eyes and her heart. But just as she thinks she has found happiness, World War 2 intervenes.

A poignant story of love, loss, betrayal and redemption set against the dying days of colonial India.

If you like exotic locations and the drama of human relationships you will find Kurinji Flowers an absorbing and engaging read.

I loved this book from start to finish. I don't know what made me choose it but I'm so glad I did. I discovered that the area the story is set is the same as where I lived on a tea plantation called Seaforth Estate. The Western Ghats are so familiar to me. Beautifully written.

Great love story

A wonderfully descriptive setting with identifiable characters to both abhor and adore. From the handsome but emotionally flawed leading man and his overbearing mother, to the dashing hero who stole her heart.

A story of love

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 April 2020

Verified Purchase

Clare Flynn has a rare gift to immerse the reader in a character who has a story to tell that makes for compulsive reading. Her descriptions of colonial life are surely a true reflection of how the British behaved in foreign climes, causing the reader to cringe with embarrassment.
She weaves a compelling story of a fascinating woman caught up in a loveless marriage. Her story is littered with the most wonderful descriptions of Malaya and the extraordinary people who made their lives under the mantle of an occupying force. Our heroine is real and is incredibly sensitive, surviving through extraordinary times until she finds a forbidden love. This is a joyous story, full of pain and wonder.

Wonderful story of love and loss

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 May 2017

Verified Purchase

Often heart-rending, this novel spans most of Ginny Dunbar's challenging life, and some of the most significant years of British colonial history. It's a beautifully written story that takes in love, disappointment, betrayal, displacement, loss, and some spectacular countryside which Flynn evokes so well. Although painful to read at times, I couldn't put the book down.The setting may be India and England, but for me the novel recalls 'The Bridges of Madison County' and even 'Dr Zhivago', and I wouldn't be surprised if Hollywood came calling.
Why only four stars? That's because some of Flynn's other novels are even better.

A vanished world beautifully redrawn

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 August 2019

What an excellent writer Ms. Flynn is. I was spellbound by the moment the flowers of the title were revealed and the deep significance of that scene. Taut emotions run through the book, but they are never sentimental or melodramatic. The characters are so deftly drawn you feel sympathy for even the most unsympathetic. Highly recommended.

Great story with many surprises

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2020

Verified Purchase

I chose this book because it was mainly based in Tamil Nadu, an area of India I know well. She obviously knows the area well and her descriptions vividly brought to life the India I am familiar with. The story flowed well, with many unexpected twists and turns, particularly towards the end. Kurinji Flowers is destined to become an 'old friend' and will be read again. Thoroughly recommended.
