Sinopsis
As the white daughter of a sugar plantation owner, Winnie Cox had everything: money, privilege, comfort. But in British Guyana in 1912, Winnie chose love over luxury.
Winnie married George Quint, the love of her life - a poor black postman from the slums.
While she lived in poverty with her husband, Winnies sister Johanna ran the plantation and harboured deep resentment towards Winnie, always her mother’s favourite daughter.
When Winnies son becomes ill and she travels to find a cure, Johanna falls for George. But he is only interested in Winnie and Johannas resentment turns to burning hatred and a determination to exact devastating revenge.
The Sugar Planters Daughter is a gripping and moving story of secrets, lies, love and betrayal that will appeal to fans of Dinah Jefferies and Kate Furnivall.
