Book Synopsis

Opulence. Invasion. Terror. And forbidden passion in 1930s Singapore.

''They were the golden days, when Singapore was as rich as its climate was steamy, its future as assured as it was busy. And those days were made even better when, as was inevitable, I fell in love with the Chinese beauty of Julie Soong and, against all unwritten canons of Singapore life, we became lovers.''
