We meet today to discuss East of the Sun, by Julia Gregson. This book won the UK Romantic Novel of the Year prize and Le Prince Maurice Award 2010 for literary love stories.
I read this historical fiction some time ago and I will have to check out amazon reviews before this evening's meeting to remind myself how the story unfolded. I remember it was about a "Fishing Fleet" a derogatory term for British women who sailed off to India "to fish" for husbands from among the British soldiers.
Read how the writer came up with the idea for her book. I am actually the one who recommended this book because I liked the storyline about three naive women sailing off to India; one to get married, one to find a husband, and one to chaperone the others and find out more about her deceased family.
