Description

Singapore just before the Japanese invasion in the Second World War: the Blackett family's prosperous world of tennis parties, cocktails and deferential servants seems unchanging. But is poised on the edge of the abyss... This is the eve of the Fall of Singapore and, as we know, of much else besides.

The Blacketts, their friends and their enemies are all caught up in the tumultuous events. Singapore at this historical watershed has never been so faithfully and passionately recreated.
