About this product
Product Information
Having drawn comparisons to "Gone with the Wind" and "Out of Africa," "The Fever Tree" is a page-turner of the very first order."In London she was caged by society.In South Africa, she is dangerously free." Frances Irvine, left destitute in the wake of her father s sudden death, has been forced to abandon her life of wealth and privilege in London and emigrate to the Southern Cape of Africa. 1880 South Africa is a country torn apart by greed. In this remote and inhospitable land she becomes entangled with two very different men one driven by ambition, the other by his ideals. Only when the rumor of a smallpox epidemic takes her into the dark heart of the diamond mines does she see her path to happiness. But this is a ruthless world of avarice and exploitation, where the spoils of the rich come at a terrible human cost and powerful men will go to any lengths to keep the mines in operation. Removed from civilization and disillusioned by her isolation, Frances must choose between passion and integrity, a decision that has devastating consequences. "The Fever Tree" is a compelling portrait of colonial South Africa, its raw beauty and deprivation alive in equal measure. But above all it is a love story about how just when we need it most fear can blind us to the truth."

Reviews
"Jennifer McVeigh writes with perception and grace. This is an epic story of love, deception, and courage, and a young woman's journey of self-discovery in a country of spectacular beauty." -Patricia Wastvedt, author of The German Boy, "An orphaned young gentlewoman, a shipboard romance en route to a strange and perilous land, a forced marriage to an enigmatic stranger . . . The Fever Tree serves up all the delicious elements of a romantic classic, seasoned by evocative prose and keen moral commentary. Gobble it up and then shelve it next to the Brontë sisters." -Hillary Jordon, author of Mudbound, "A page-turner to tempt you." - Good Housekeeping "Read England's hottest book! The Fever Tree by Jennifer McVeigh is already a bestseller in the UK ( Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellows is a fan!) - Woman's World "McVeigh's distinctive first novel is a lush, sweeping take of willful self-deception. . . . [t]he sensory detail and sweep of the novel are exquisite, particularly for a debut." - Publishers Weekly "Forceful and direct, yet surprisingly lyrical, McVeigh's narrative weaves top-notch research and true passion for the material with a well-conceived plot. . . . Overall, this story's a gem." - Kirkus Reviews " With its cinematic descriptions and compulsively readable plotline, this debut novel may well become a book-club favorite. . . . With its social-justice ang≤ exotic, ruggedly beautiful location; and universal theme of emotional growth, this will have wide appeal." -Booklist "There is nothing more exciting than a new writer with a genuine voice. I loved it." -Julian Fellowes, creator of Downton Abbey "The Fever Tree is vividly written, and moves so fluidly from Victorian drawing rooms to the wild, spare plains and brutal diamond mines of South Africa; place and people come alive in this book…. A gripping story-I found myself thinking of scenes from this book long after I had turned the last page." -Kim Edwards, New York Times bestselling author "...riveting debut...McVeigh's exhaustive research shines through... The Fever Tree is an engaging read; its capricious heroine grabs you from the start, urging you to ride out her journey before the morning alarm rings." -BookPage "An orphaned young gentlewoman, a shipboard romance en route to a strange and perilous land, a forced marriage to an enigmatic stranger . . . The Fever Tree serves up all the delicious elements of a romantic classic, seasoned by evocative prose and keen moral commentary. Gobble it up and then shelve it next to the Brontë sisters." -Hillary Jordan, author of Mudbound "I loved it. I found Frances very convincing as a quiet but deep and passionate Victorian Englishwoman making her way in the most unfamiliar and grueling of circumstances in colonial South Africa. Jennifer McVeigh brilliantly evokes her life and times and the vast, unforgiving landscape. It's a beautifully written novel of great feeling." -Rachel Hore, bestselling author of The Place of Secrets and A Gathering Storm "Jennifer McVeigh writes with perception and grace. This is an epic story of love, deception, and courage, and a young woman's journey of self-discovery in a country of spectacular beauty." -Patricia Wastvedt, author of The German Boy "I whizzed through it and the writing was flawless and I was in awe of the breadth and scope. It is a rattling good read." -Suzannah Dunn, author of The Confession of Katherine Howard and The Sixth Wife "A world of red dust plains, pioneering grit, and the cruelty of colonial greed. Vividly described and supremely well-paced, this is an unforgettable journey into a heart of darkness." -Deborah Lawrenson, author of The Lantern "[A] bewitching tale of loss, betrayal and love." - Vogue , UK, "The epic scope of Jenny McVeigh's novel of passion and betrayal set against the nineteenth century diamond rush in South Africa opens out a world of red dust plains, pioneering grit, and the cruelty of colonial greed. Vividly described and supremely well-paced, this is an unforgettable journey into a heart of darkness: romantic and tragic, a tale of honor and redemption, it leaves wide vistas of a harsh yet beguiling landscape shimmering in the imagination long after the last page is turned." - Deborah Lawrenson, author of The Lantern, "I loved it.... Jennifer McVeigh brilliantly evokes [Frances'] life and times and the vast, unforgiving landscape. It's a beautifully written novel of great feeling." -Rachel Hore, bestselling author of A Place of Secrets and A Gathering Storm , "There is nothing more exciting than a new writer with a genuine voice. I loved it." -Julian Fellowes, creator of Downton Abbey "The Fever Tree is vividly written, and moves so fluidly from Victorian drawing rooms to the wild, spare plains and brutal diamond mines of South Africa; place and people come alive in this book….

When Frances Irvine, naive and sheltered, is forced to emigrate and make a new life, she encounters both beauty and searing injustices, and ultimately, she's forced to confront herself, as well. A gripping story-I found myself thinking of scenes from this book long after I had turned the last page." -Kim Edwards, New York Times bestselling author of The Memory Keeper's Daughter and The Lake of Dreams, "There is nothing more exciting than a new writer with a genuine voice. I loved it." -Julian Fellowes, creator of Downton Abbey
