Meet me in Nuala

51JN2a-wPBL
The fictional town of Nuala, in 1930s Ceylon, reminds me more than a little bit, and not by accident, of the real-life town of Kandy in the tea-growing mountains of modern-day Sri Lanka. Police Inspector Shanti de Silva and his English wife, Jane, find a world of trouble in what he thought would be a sleepy posting outside the capital city of Colombo. If you love getting lost in a book series, Harriet Steel's Nuala books, 11 volumes and counting, will keep you amused with an endearing ensemble of recurring characters, good mysteries to solve, and great descriptions of the countryside, the gardens, and the food. Start at the beginning and read your way through summer vacation.
