ABOUT
THE BOOK

Singapore, 1949. A young Eurasian woman, a survivor of the Japanese Occupation, meets the son of a privileged Australian family. She accompanies him to one of his parents’ homes in Broome with hopes for a better life, despite doubts from her family. Captivated by this life and his photography, she comes to see herself anew. But is the image true? A novel about desire, flight and the aftermath of war.
