| Second novel from Tan Twan Eng, acclaimed writer of The Gift of Rain- over 60,000 copies sold. The Garden of Evening Mists has the same sumptuous style and exotic imagery so beloved by readers and critics alike, and deals with Malaysia's turbulent road to independence, a time of insurrection and uncertainty and terror. |
Set against the stark beauty of sub-Saharan West Africa Harmattan is evocative and heart-wrenching. Suffused with an anger that is all the more powerful for its masterful understatement, this is a story that will be talked about for years to come. |
