Title: Not for me...
Product review: This book is set around 1919. Charlotte, a widow, takes on a job of tutoring the daughters of British families in Rangoon. Charlotte falls into a passionate affair with John Dollar, the captain of a small ship. A picnic leads to series of tragic events.Wiggins does a terrific job in developing Charlotte's character and the environment she lived. On the other hand, I found the story line bouncing around from character to character and scene to scene during the first 100 pages (of a 214 page novel). I found the story and the other lightly developed characters difficult to follow.I'm a huge fan of Marianne Wiggins later works - "Evidence of Things Unseen" and "The Shadow Catcher" so I decided to try this earlier work. Unfortunately, this novel was not for me.
