The fortune teller of Kathmandu / Ann Bennett.
Hampshire, UK, 2015. When Chloe Harper's beloved grandmother, Lena dies, a stranger hands her Lena's wartime diary. Chloe sets out to uncover deep family secrets that Lena guarded to her grave. Darjeeling, India, 1943, Lena Chatterjee leaves the confines of a strict boarding school to work as assistant to Lieutenant George Harper, an officer in the British Indian Army. She accompanies him to Nepal and deep into the Himalayas to recruit Gurkhas for the failing Burma Campaign. There, she discovers that Lieutenant Harper has a secret, which she vows never to reveal. In Kathmandu, the prophesy of a mysterious fortune teller sets Lena on a dangerous course. She joins the Women's Auxiliary Service Burma (the Wasbies), risking her life to follow the man she loves to the front line. What happens there changes the course of her life. On her quest to uncover her grandmother's hidden past, Chloe herself encounters mystery and romance. Helped by young Nepalese tour guide, Kiran Rai, she finds history repeating itself when she is swept up in events that spiral out of control.
