I was asked by NetGalley to review this really intriguing story with a dual timeline set in the 1930/40s and in the present.
This was such an intriguinly beautifully written story.
Set in the days of Colonial Singapore where Dorothy is with her parents - father working for a rubber company. life is good and privilaged - with socialising and the lavish Raffles hotel. Everyone thinks Singapore will be safe as the war continues at home - Singapore will not fall. Evacuations take place will the family be safe?
Annabel - her grandmother passes away - she has no idea she had been in Singapore.
Then a trip to Singapore to uncover the truth and why her Grandmother never spoke of this or that she had ever been anywhere apart from England.
Well researched and due for publication February 26th 2026
