“Refund was approved and back in my account the same day.” - Deliver+ customer
Hong Kong 1941 and the streets are filled with Japanese soldiers. Two young people are brought together then separated by terrible cruelty. Fifteenyearold Kate lives a rarefied life of wealth and privilege in the prewar Hong Kong expatriate community, but when the Japanese invade shes interned in squalid Stanley Camp with her parents. Enduring cramped conditions, humiliation, disease, and starvation, Kate befriends seventeenyearold Charles, who is half Chinese, and they give their hearts to each other under the orchid tree. Meanwhile, forty miles away in Portuguese Macau, thirteenyearold Sofias suspicions are aroused when her father invites a Japanese family to dinner, an event which leads to a breach between Sofia and her controlling halfbrother, Leo. In December 1948, adult Kate returns to Hong Kong, determined to put the past behind her. Sofia dreams of leaving Macau and starting a new life, and she wont let anyone, not even Leo, stop her.A young Englishman, James, becomes the link between Kate and Sofia. The communistnationalist struggle in China spills over into the colony, catapulting the protagonists into the turmoil with disastrous consequences. From international bestselling author Siobhan Daiko, a delightful mix of adventure, romance and tragic modern history. Perfect for readers of Dinah Jefferies, Ann Bennett and Kate Furnivall. Previously published as The Orchid Tree PRAISE FOR SIOBHAN DAIKO "... wonderfully fastpaced and readable... I would recommend this...
