[kiracanread]

A bittersweet tale about relationships with a background of British colonialism. The characters weren't particularly likeable in this book which took a lot away from how I rated it, almost as if at points I didn't care what happened to most of the characters (apart from the doctor, the doctor is innocent in this)
