Description
Gail Lim's search for answers about her father's past is driven by a deep-seated unease. Haunted by the mysterious events that shaped his childhood in war-torn Asia, she uses her skills as a journalist to unravel the truth.
As a boy, Matthew Lim and Ani formed an unlikely friendship in the jungle fringe near Leila Road, where they narrowly survived the terrifying events of Japanese-occupied Sandakan. Years later, their paths cross again, only to be separated once more.
This powerful and moving novel explores the long-lasting impact of war on individuals and families, and the enduring power of human connection in the face of trauma and loss.
