Synopsis
Eighteen-year-old Flora is recovering from “nervous exhaustion” in the sanatorium at her boarding school. She is supposed to rest. But the rest brings back her childhood memories of living in Borneo, where she encountered people and events shaped by the tragedies of the Second World War, when the island was occupied by Japanese soldiers and their concentration camps.
Award-winning author Adèle Geras weaves the captivating story of a young woman who, by coming to terms with her memories of the past, is able to move on to a new phase of her life.

Review
"Geras' writing is surefooted and subtly crafted, and this is an intelligent, sensitive piece of fiction about polgnant emotions" - The Bookseller; "a bitter-sweet, piercing account of a childhood in Borneo" - TES; 'The beauty of the book is the subtlety and the insightful way the bigger picture of the after effects of the war and the colonial experience are Interwoven into the portrait of a growing girl' - The Guardian; 'A richly atmospheric tale... Geras conveys the intensity of childhood experience with great skill...' - Sunday Times
