Anotace
Singapore - a trading post where different lives jostle and mix. It
is 1927, and three young people are starting to question whether
this inbetween island can ever truly be their home. Mei Lan comes
from a famous Chinese dynasty but yearns to free herself from its
stifling traditions; ten-year-old Howard seethes at the indignities
heaped on his fellow Eurasians by the colonial British; Raj, fresh
off the boat from India, wants only to work hard and become a
successful businessman. As the years pass, and the Second World War
sweeps through the east, with the Japanese occupying Singapore, the
three are thrown together in unexpected ways, and tested to
breaking point. Richly evocative, A Different Sky paints a
scintillating panorama of thirty tumultuous years in Singapore's
history through the passions and struggles of characters the reader
will find it hard to forget.
