Coramandel Sea Change by Rumer Godden



A young couple spend their honeymoon at a hotel on the Coramandel Peninsular in India.  Mary is fresh off the boat and dazzled by India’s brilliance; her husband...not so much.  All manner of conflicts arise.

 Rumer Godden has the ability to paint a world where discipline, kindness and eccentricity lead to salvation and this book is no different.  I am not sure I even care about the characters, I just want to live in her world.  

I wasn’t able to get to the Coramandel Peninsular in New Zealand to take the pic, so I settled for the Orewa Beach just up the road.
