Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 75
It is 1938 and the final days of the British Empire. In a bungalow high up in the green hills above the plains of Ceylon, under a vast blue sky, live the Ferguson family: Bella, a precocious eight-year-old; her father Henry—owner of Pitlochry, a tea plantation—and her mother Virginia. The story centres around the Pavilion in the Clouds, set in the idyllic grounds carved out of the wilderness. But all is not as serene as it seems. Bella is suspicious of her governess, Miss White’s intentions.

Beautiful Story
Revisado: 12-20-24
I always love the way Alexander McCall Smith tells a story. He paints a scene with words in such beautiful ways. His main charters are honest and forthright, or at least until they are revealed in the end. I feel like I know his characters and have been to the locations he so lovingly describes. This book is no different. I can visualize Sri Lanka’s tea plantations under British rule as WWII approached. And listening to his books over Audible is almost even better than reading them because the narrators have wonderful accents that are perfectly appropriate to the characters and the peaceful pace of the story.
