Review

'An astonishing fictional debut . . . A great read'

(Daily Mail )

'An exceedingly good book, and one of the can't put down variety . . . a winner' M M Kaye, author of <i>The Far Pavilions</i>

(M M Kaye, author of The Far Pavilions )

'Noel Barber has always done everything in a big way, with style, panache and a dash of adventure. But he has never written a story of such dimensions, such a sense of history and imagination as this first novel . . . it is an intensely gripping and convincing story'

(Manchester Evening News )

'Barber is a master'

(Mail on Sunday )

M M Kaye, author of THE FAR PAVILIONS

Format:Paperback
A fantastic story of two young lovers who fight to be together against all the racial odds of the 1930's in Singapore. It captures your imagination, and lets you live through out their struggles, experiences, love and heartache. A true bestseller. The first noel barber book I have read, and definately not the last

Capturing 6 May 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Having been to both Malaysia and Singapore several times, I felt myself back walking down Orchard Road and other places. The book gave me a much more historical background, not only about the unpleasant wartime but also of the tin and rubber-trade, which made Malaysia grow such much. A fine book which I found hard to put down.

A real epic 26 Nov 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This is an epic tale that really captures the imagination. Set against the background of colonnial Singapore it tells the story of a famillies struggles, heartaches and achievements. Its a wonderfully good read and if yiu have ever been to Sigapore, or the far east, then you will really appreciate the detail, as Barber superbly captures the atmosphere of the orient.

I bought this book because I had just returned from Singapore and wanted to know more about how the country was in earlier years. I wasn't dissapointed and loved the story.
