Spirited doctor Isla Fenwick is determined to work at the coalface of medicine in India before committing to life as a dutiful wife. With hopes of making a difference in the world, she sails to Calcutta to set up a midwifery clinic. There she will be forced to question her beliefs, her professionalism and her romantic loyalties.
On a desperate rescue mission to save the one person who needs her the most, she travels into the foothills of the Himalayas to a tea plantation outside Darjeeling. At the roof of the world, where heaven and earth collide, Isla will be asked to pay the ultimate price for her passions.
From England’s seaside town of Brighton to India’s slums of Calcutta and the breathtaking Himalayan mountains, this is a wildly exciting novel of heroism, heartache and healing, by the bestselling author of The Chocolate Tin.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
With its high-drama, high-stakes plot, The Tea Gardens has all the hallmarks of a captivating Fiona McIntosh novel. The plot soars between the English seaside, the slums of Calcutta and tea plantations in the breathtaking Himalayan foothills. Add to the mix an intelligent, independent heroine (young doctor Isla Fenwick), a fascinating era (1930s pre-independence India) and more than one intriguing romantic possibility, and it’s clear why McIntosh is one of Australia’s most popular writers of historical romance. Every plot element had us rooting for a compelling ideal, from love and adventure to heroism and honour.
