The Faraway Bride
by Stella Benson
“She crossed an ocean to marry a stranger—and discovered herself.”
When an unconventional Englishwoman travels to China to marry a man she barely knows, she finds herself navigating not just a foreign culture but the strange dynamics of an isolated missionary community. With sharp wit and keen observation, this novel explores the collision of idealism and reality, East and West, in the life of a bride far from home.
