Synopsis

From award-winning author of Darjeeling Inheritance, Liz Harris, comes a suspenseful standalone novel set during the time of the French Colonial rule of Vietnam, the third in the gripping series The Colonials.

The French Territory of Hanoi, 1932

Soon after Lucette and Philippe Delon’s arrival in Vietnam, Lucette is shaken when she has a minor car accident. The other driver, Gaston Laroche, gives her assistance, and this brings him into her life and Philippe’s, and also into the lives of their neighbours, Marc and Simonne Bouvier.

The two couples rapidly become friends, with ties made stronger by the fact that Philippe is aide to Marc, a senior official in the French colonial administration. They all welcome Gaston, a charismatic and charming man, into their group.

Unknown to Philippe, Marc is hiding a dangerous secret. Unknown to Marc, Gaston is aware of that. And he’s determined to expose the truth.

But even the best laid plans can go astray, and where there are women involved, they’re even more likely to do so.

Hanoi Spring is perfect for readers of Dinah Jefferies, Fiona Valpy and Kristin Hannah.

What readers are saying about Darjeeling Inheritance by Liz Harris, the first standalone novel in The Colonials.

Liz Harris has successfully transported me to 1930s India in her five-star novel set on a tea plantation in Darjeeling! I’ve read books set in colonial India before, but Harris has a superb gift in making life during the British Raj come to life…This is a fabulous novel that needs to top your list. (Goodreads review)

Darjeeling Inheritance is an entertaining, well-written historical romance, well-rooted in its geographic setting… Recommended for readers who want a well-constructed story set outside Europe or North America. Helen Hollick (Amazon Vine Voice)

An enjoyable read, full of romance, and with enough treachery and intrigue to keep interest throughout. (Historical Novel Society Review)

The dialogue captures the essence of the characters and the vivid description of the landscape foreshadows dangers lurking in the lush landscape. The depth of the story rises above most romances because it pulls no punches. Linnia Tanner (Goodreads review)

It is essentially a love story, but with secrets and betrayals, set in the Darjeeling area of India. The time period of the 1930s is vividly recreated by the author, along with rich descriptions of the tea estates for which the area is famous.T.F. White (Amazon review)

I absolutely loved it and whole heartedly recommend it. Sara (Amazon review)
