Description
A 25-year-old newspaper clipping from Belle's past holds the key to uncovering a family mystery. Found among her parents' belongings after their death, it speaks of the Hattons leaving Rangoon in search of their missing baby daughter, Elvira. Determined to find out what happened to her sister, Belle sets out on a journey that takes her from her glamorous new life as a nightclub singer to the streets of Burma during the 1930s.
As she digs deeper, Belle faces unsettling rumours, malicious gossip, and outright threats. But with the help of an attractive American journalist, Oliver, she refuses to back down. Will she be able to uncover the truth behind her sister's disappearance? Can she trust those closest to her?
This moving story of loss and love is set against the turbulent backdrop of 1930s Burma. With its complex characters and exotic locations, it is a gripping tale that will keep you turning the pages until the very end.
