Full description for Cinnamon Gardens

• Set among the upper classes in the gracious, repressive, and complex world of 1920s Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), Cinnamon Gardens tells two intertwined stories. Annalukshmi is a young teacher whose family is intent on arranging a proper marriage for her. Her uncle, Balendran, is a man who must suppress the secret desires that threaten to throw his life into chaos. With its sensuous atmosphere, vivid prose, and astonishing ability to conjure time and place, Cinnamon Gardens is a riveting literary achievement that speaks to the issues readers grapple with today, while recalling the great historical novels they love.
