The Sleeping Dictionary

by Denise O'Donoghue (Contributor)

In the steamy equatorial jungles of 1930's Sarawak, a beautiful tribeswoman becomes both lover and language tutor to a young English diplomat. But the lovers are forced to separate for defying duty and tradition, and when the young man returns a year later with his new bride, passion reignites as secrets surface that are as deep and dark as the jungles of Borneo.

I loved the detail. The history in India during this time frame and life as an impoverished, orphaned female and everything she went through to better herself.
