Why read it?

1 author picked The Tea Merchant as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I wonder if anyone ever penned a book weaving together the American Revolution, the East India Company, and the British rule over India. Leena Bhatnagar has done it in this masterful debut thriller.

I was amazed at the incredible facets of the history of the epochal Boston Tea Party Bhatnagar rendered in this story of a staunch, gritty American woman caught in a predicament that might threaten and weaken the revolution itself.
