Helpful Score: 1
After reading about this book on another site, I couldn't wait to read it and I wasn't disappointed. Ms. Furnivall weaves an intriguing story of an Englishwoman married to a rubber plantation owner in Malaya in late 1941.
You know from the very first sentence this will be an unusual story: "It was not the first time Connie had killed someone. But today there were witnesses."
The author grabs you from that very first sentence and pulls you into a foreign world of class and race, intrigue and danger, surprises and discovery. She has written a mesmerizing tale that has stayed with me for days afterward. In fact, I'm going to re-read it---it's just that good!
