Description
Set in colonial Singapore in 1936, this atmospheric historical mystery follows Su Lin, a young Chinese woman whose sharp intelligence and observant nature draw her into a dangerous investigation. When a suspicious death is too readily dismissed, Su Lin must navigate the rigid hierarchies of a society divided by race, class, and power while uncovering the secrets concealed behind respectable façades. Rich in period detail, the novel explores identity, loyalty, gender, and the tensions of a changing Singapore, blending an intricate puzzle with a vivid portrait of life under British rule.
