Kurinji Flowers

By Clare Flynn

It is 1936. Ginny Dunbar, an 18-year-old debutante, has been exploited for years by a charismatic, older man. The fallout from this abusive relationship jeopardises her future. But Ginny gets a second chance with a new start in India. Alone to cope with the repercussions of her past, Ginny has to battle her inner demons, the expectations of her husband, mother-in-law, and colonial British society, and her prejudices towards India and its people.
Set in South India during World War II and India's struggle for independence, Kurinji Flowers traces a young woman's journey through loss, loneliness, hope, and betrayal to unexpected love and self-discovery.
