Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Straits Settlements, 1906: Emma has always dreamt of leaving small-town Malacca for the bright lights of Singapore, but now that her dream is finally within reach she wonders if her plan isn't too risky. For Emma harbours a secret that, if revealed, could unravel everything she holds dear. If anyone so much as suspects the truth, it will be the end of her, her future marriage to George, her entire life in Singapore. Emma settles in to married life to a man she barely knows, and there she must learn to navigate love, lies and her own identity in the bigoted society of British colonial Singapore. By the Singapore Literature Prize-winning author of 'Others' Is Not A Race.
