{"product_id":"the-secret-children","title":"The Secret Children","description":"'gripping, emotional and beautifully written' Amazon reviewer, 5 stars  'Beautiful, beautiful book. Loved it. Could not put it down. It gripped me from the first page. Great story. Evocative writing.' Goodreads reviewer, 5 stars   Assam, 1925. Surrounded by the dramatic landscape of a tea plantation, sisters Mary and Serafina grow up in a world of contradiction and confusion.   Born to a beautiful but naive Indian mother and dynamic Scottish father, they are loved but hidden away. For these are children who cross two very different cultures, and are accepted by neither . . .   When the shadow of war falls, the girls must face the truth and begin the search for somewhere to belong.   It is a journey full of forbidden questions, heartbreak and determination. As the sisters grow up, they must risk everything and make choices with a legacy that will last a lifetime, and beyond.  The Secret Children is a story of love, loss, family secrets and yearning to find a place to belong.","brand":"Orion Publishing Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40697656901717,"sku":"9781409135517N","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/files\/8f8581d4-28c3-4711-873d-87402211910f.jpg?v=1695998057","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/the-secret-children","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
