The Ginger Tree by Oswald Wynd
Donated by Joyce, who says...
This is a heart rendering book about a young Scottish woman setting off on an adventure in the early 20th Century to a world completely alien to her Presbyterian background. It is a wonderful story of the growth of a woman’s inner courage and strength in a period in which woman have little or no power. Set in a turbulent period in the history of China and Japan the writer manages to bring humanity and compassion to life in the form of the diary of a very special woman.
