From the acclaimed author of Teatime for the Firefly comes the story of a man with dreams of changing the world, who finds himself changed by love
India, 1870s. In a tiny village where society is ruled by a caste system and women are defined solely by marriage, young Biren Roy dreams of forging a new destiny. When his mother suffers the fate of widowhood - shunned by her loved ones and forced to live in solitary penance - Biren devotes his life to effecting change.
Biren's passionate spirit blossoms as wildly as the blazing flame trees of his homeland. With a law degree, he goes to work for the government to pioneer academic equality for girls. But in a place governed by age-old conventions, progress comes at a price, and soon Biren becomes a stranger among his own countrymen.
Just when his vision for the future begins to look hopeless, he meets Maya, the independent-minded daughter of a local educator, and his soul is reignited. It is in her love that Biren finally finds his home and in her heart that he finds the hope for a new world.

It was my great privilege to spend a couple of hours with the author earlier this month. My knowledge of Assam tea increased dramatically - as did my admiration for the writer. Shona Patel shared much of her research with our book club - the people she interviewed and the locales she was quite familiar with. Getting to see a bit of the creative process from her perspective was enlightening - she clearly knows the world of which she writes. I am looking forward to a third book about this fascinating culture and the family she writes about - the diverse people of India, the changes in India since colonialism and how tea has driven the economy of this area of the country. I highly recommend both books!
