This ambitious and sweeping novel explores the fallout of a Malayan woman’s decision to become a spy for Japanese forces during World War II.

With a full cast of characters telling their stories, all orbiting the devastation wrought on a family caught up in war, this is a sweeping narrative, gorgeously written and emotionally resonant. Altogether, a resounding debut.
