«Une odeur de gingembre» is the historical novel by Oswald Wynd, published by Table Ronde in paperback (372 pages, in French).
In 1903, the Scotswoman Mary Mackenzie travels to Peking to marry her fiancé, a British military attaché. Her fascination with China after the Boxer Rebellion clashes with the European community. A relationship with a Japanese officer, by whom she expects a child, marginalises her; rejected by her husband, she flees to Japan, where she manages to integrate.
This novel was originally published in English as 'The Ginger Tree' in 1977 and was adapted into a miniseries broadcast on Masterpiece Theatre.
It will appeal to those seeking a historical novel set in the Far East, with a female protagonist and a story of survival and cultural clash.
