📕Emily's Walking Book Club Book Review: The Ginger Tree by Oswald Wynd

[@JanetHeaney]

I loved this book, the strength of character of Mary, her extraordinary resilience and disregard for what was expected of her. We saw that right from the start when she refused to wear her corsets when travelling to China and seemed not to care for convention and what her chaperone thought. My only gripe is that I wish I hadn’t known she was going to have an affair. It slightly spoiled the section on her marriage as we knew it wasn’t going to last anyway. But this book was still a real treat.

Yes perhaps the affair element is a bit of a spoiler - though nothing compared to what comes next… but I’m so glad you enjoyed the book nonetheless and well spotted re the corset! Thanks Janet
