1952, French Indochina. Since her mother's death, eighteen-year-old half-French, half-Vietnamese Nicole has been living in the shadow of her beautiful older sister, Sylvie. When Sylvie is handed control of the family silk business, Nicole is given an abandoned silk shop in the Vietnamese quarter of Hanoi. But the area is teeming with militant rebels who want to end French rule, by any means possible. For the first time, Nicole is awakened to the corruption of colonial rule - and her own family's involvement shocks her to the core...
Tran, a notorious Vietnamese insurgent, seems to offer the perfect escape from her troubles, while Mark, a charming American trader, is the man she's always dreamed of. But who can she trust in this world where no one is what they seem?
The Silk Merchant's Daughter is a captivating tale of dark secrets, sisterly rivalry and love against the odds, enchantingly set in colonial era Vietnam.

Another great read
Dina Jeffries is a brilliant writer. I couldn’t put this thrlling story down.
A good read
A good story with enough fact and history to make it interesting and a book you don’t want to put down.
Brilliant!
The Silk Merchant’s Daughter is a truly brilliant novel. Not only a gripping story but the history and culture that must have taken so much research is fascinating and adds so much to the overall package. This was as unputdownable as the other Dinah Jefferies books, and I can’t wait for the next one!
