Juliet quickly falls under the spell of Gavin Crosby, a plantation owner, who despite his wealth, charm and good looks is shunned by the local community. Rushed into marriage, Juliet is unprepared for the devastating secrets she uncovers on Gavin's plantation, and the bad blood between Gavin and his brother. But in 1941 the Japanese occupy Malaya and Singapore sweeping away that world and changing Juliet's life forever. For decades after the war which robbed her of everyone she loved, Juliet lives as a recluse back on the plantation. But in 1962 the sudden appearance of Mary, a young woman from an orphanage in Indonesia, forces Juliet to embark on a journey into the past, and to face up to the heart-breaking truths she's buried for so long. 610 20 $a Changi POW Camp (Changi, Singapore) $x Fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Fiction. $x Fiction. 651 0 $a Singapore $x Fiction. $y Japanese occupation, 1942-1945 $x Fiction. 700 1 $i Reprint of (manifestation) $a Bennett, Ann, $d 1962- $t Bamboo Island. 941 $a 4 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430020631.0 952 $l BRPD251 $d 20240119015421.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909060856.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20210115010213.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5348519856FF11EB8B1982EF39ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
