In his second novel about the diaspora, the author sensitively and humorously explores the prejudices and hypocrisies that follow them into their new home.

In the little teardrop-shaped island of Ceylon in the 1950s, ancient cultural beliefs steeped in ritual sorcery are very much alive under the veneer of an urbanised and colonised population. The island's indigenous beliefs barely touch the idyllic lives of Ben and Anita Roberts, until a former neighbour perpetrates a powerful occult charm upon Ben to lure him away from his wife. Tragedy follows in its wake.

by David Ebbels
This is the personal story of six years spent as an assistant manager on tea plantations in the beautiful and historic island of Ceylon, now Sri Lanka.
