Description
In 1948, Kenya was a world away from the beauty and tranquility of Penang, a tropical paradise that had been Jasmine's home since birth. Expelled from her convent school, she finds herself back in Malaya, where she is sent to live with old friends and help care for their young daughter. As Jasmine settles into her new life, she throws herself into her passion for art, capturing the beauty of her surroundings on paper. But Penang is far from a safe haven, and Jasmine's life is soon threatened by the turmoil of civil war. Her solace in painting helps to soothe her heartache as her homeland is torn apart. A shocking discovery about her father's past changes everything, altering the course of Jasmine's life forever. This gripping historical novel combines the tragedy of civil war with the uncovering of long-held family secrets, creating a heart-wrenching story that will stay with you long after you finish reading.
