Description

Young, rich and beautiful, widow Charlotte Macleod, leaves Batavia in the 1850s and results to Singapore for the British education of her two young kids. She's determined to not be attracted back to a secret affair with Asian triad-associate Zhen. Drawing on the actual-life historic people of the time, Dawn Farnham deftly blends fiction and fact to paint a vivid picture of mid-nineteenth-century Singapore in a time when piracy, triads and offense were rife.
