Book Review:
''Tea and Memories'' is a beautifully written and evocative memoir by Samudra Ratwatte that offers a rare and intimate glimpse into the life of a planter's wife in Sri Lanka's tea plantations. This book is a treasure trove of memories and reflections on a bygone era.

Ratwatte's writing is warm and engaging, bringing to life the social dynamics, cultural nuances, and daily experiences of the ''Plantation Raj.'' Her recollections are both personal and historically significant, providing valuable insights into the lives of planters and their families during the post-colonial period.

This is a must-read for anyone interested in Sri Lankan history, plantation life, and personal stories of a unique way of life. It is a poignant and beautifully crafted memoir. Highly recommended!
