From the Back Cover
Last night I dreamed I was in another room. Shreds of the dream are still with me . . .
Flora is convalescing in her English boarding school's grey sanatorium. To while away the hours, she begins writing down the story of the time when she lived in the tropical paradise of North Borneo.
She uncovers memories of a place where brilliant flowers and exotic, poisonous creatures were at first her main concern. But that was before she discovered the empty house on the hill, and learned the truth about the tragic wartime events that affected the whole community.
A magical, evocative novel that will transport you to a landscape of vibrant colours and scents.
'Geras' writing is surefooted and subtly crafted . . . an intelligent, sensitive piece of fiction about poignant emotions' The Bookseller
