I did not like the characters in this book Robert (Mary's brother-in-law) was a bully. He only thought about himself and his
plants. Mary lacked any kind of inter strength or at times, intelligence. I was not impressed with this book at all. Story
line was ok and it could have been a great book but the lack of a good story line and characters made the book dull and
very boring. I ended up skipping about 5 chapters just to finish the book.

The Secret Mandarin sheridansara 9781847561893 Books Reviews

It's loosely based on the story of Robert Fortune, but it's also a lot of fun and interesting. If you don't get too worried about the fictional elements that make this a very accessible book, than the backdrop of the plant-hunting expedition is quite engaging. I also enjoyed the perspective of the main character who became liberated from the confinements of 19th century Britain.
I didn't buy The Secret Mandarin from ; I picked it up on a discount table at a local newsagent. It is worth much more than it cost.

It is set in the 1800's and although it begins in England most of the tale takes place in a hostile China. This is a work of fiction based on a real life character, a botanist no less, but you don't need an interest in botany to be carried away on this adventure.

The story is written in the first person and although our narrator is touted to be a carefree and adventurous woman, the voice is conservative. This is a small criticism and is outweighed by a strong and authentic story line, the author clearly having done her research.

If you read to escape the every day and want to be transported to another time and place, this book will do it for you.
Good reading , will look for more from this Author.
