In the mountainous tea plantations of Darjeeling, a family is torn apart when two sisters fall in love with the same man. Forbidden love, family relationships, jealousies and surprising twists reveal the extent to which family honour in India still plays an important role.

"Like the tea that is its namesake, Darjeeling is a good companion for a quiet evening spent by the fireside." "This is a bittersweet story, as astringent and refreshing as a brisk cup of tea." "A fine Seattle writer pens her third and most accomplished novel." "Kirchner weaves the love triangle in with lush images of Darjeeling and the tea estate, changing life in India and the balancing act for immigrants." "An engrossing story of love, loss, and retrieval."
Born in India, Bharti Kirchner worked as a systems software engineer for many years before becoming a prize-winning cookbook author. She is also the author of two acclaimed novels, "Sharmila's Book and Shiva Dancing." She has written numerous articles for magazines, newspapers and anthologies. Ms. Kirchner lives in Seattle with her husband.
