    About this audiobook

    From the internationally bestselling author of The Mask of Time and The Original Sin

    As World War II rages, Francine Lawrence and her small daughter, Ruth, wait in the fading splendor of Raffles Hotel in Singapore for Francine's British husband. But when he is delayed, Francine, half-Chinese and unwelcome there, is forced to begin a terrifying journey. Seeking to escape a world exploding in nightmare, Francine ultimately makes a gut-wrenching decision: to entrust Ruth to strangers in order to save the child's life. But when the war ends, all traces of Ruth have vanished; years of searching bring only heartbreak.

    Three decades later Francine is a formidable businesswoman, pouring all her energies into her companies. Then one day a soft-spoken young woman walks into her New York office on the Festival of the Hungry Ghosts. Her name is Sakura, and she hints that she may be Francine's daughter. What Francine does not know is that beneath Sakura's calm surface lives the heart of a warrior. Francine cannot begin to imagine the places Sakura has been, the horrors she has endured-or the secret that gives her the strongest motive in the world to lie . . .

      There is a moment after reading a book of such quality, that it gives you a shiver of pure delight, and this was one of those extraordinary reads. I'll not comment on the plot, because plenty of other reviewers have. But suffice to say, this is a tale to savour. From page 1 you realise you're in the hands of a master wordsmith, who ratchets up the tension right to the last page. This was my first experience of reading Marius Gabriel's work. What a treat! I will definitely be reading more.
