Under the Mango Tree

A good Indian girl peaking out from behind her veil. A handsome Englishman determined to find adventure. Two people dare to dream the impossible.

Lakshmi Rai has never been your ordinary good Bengali girl. Studying with her twin brother has taught her so much more than any young woman from a good family would have normally learned, but when an Englishman enters their garden he has her questioning fundamental rules she's always lived by.

James Ritchie, the Earl of Huntley, has been forced into an adventure by his dying father. Building a business in Calcutta to save his family finances provides even more excitement than he could have anticipated. But meeting the shy sister of his new business partner turns his world upside down.

Under the Mango Tree is the second Parents Novella of the Merry Men Series and explores the relationship of the parents of Julian Ritchie, the hero of An Exotic Heir. If you love reading about exotic places, different cultures and strong women then you'll love exploring Calcutta during the Raj in Meredith Bond's Under the Mango Tree.
