Synopsis

From award-winning author, Liz Harris, comes an emotional tale of love and revenge set in Simla, the summer capital of the British Raj, which lies in the shadow of the Himalayas.

Simla, 1932

Life-long friends, Lilian Hunt and Daisy Chatsworth, whose fathers work for the British government in India, have travelled north with their families from Delhi to Simla, eagerly anticipating a summer of parties, dances and, dare they hope, romance.

Frederick, Lilian’s ambitious father, is determined that Lilian should marry Eric, the son of his superior, Cecil Stanford, as that is what Cecil wants. Eric, however, against his father’s clearly expressed wishes, is drawn to Daisy. But Cecil objects to Eric marrying a Chatsworth, though no one knows why.

Lilian decides to take matters into her hands, and help her friend to win the man she loves.

Unknown to Frederick, he has an enemy in Simla, and soon after his arrival, that enemy makes his presence felt.

Feeling increasingly threatened, Frederick asks a new colleague, Jack Leighton, to stay close to Lilian and Daisy without them realising he’s there to protect them. Jack has taken an instant dislike to Lilian but, reluctantly, he agrees.

But the enemy is watching…

Simla Mist, an unforgettably powerful story of love and revenge, is perfect for readers of Santa Montefiore, Dinah Jefferies, Kristin Hannah, Fiona Valpy and Rosie Thomas.

What readers are saying about Darjeeling Inheritance by Liz Harris, the first novel in the series The Colonials, each novel of which is a standalone and is complete in itself.

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. Linnea 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 1930's, 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 bought this book to read over Christmas and finished it in two days it was so gripping.
The story is brilliant - a girl destined to marry her father’s choice and well…No spoilers here, but the course of true love etc etc… an emotional rollercoaster, entirely believable characters, breathtaking descriptions. Mo Voaden (Amazon Review)
