Publisher's Synopsis
It is 1941, and while Britain is in the grip of war, ex-pat life in the Far East remains one of wealth and privilege. In Singapore, Susan Roper spends her time dancing, playing tennis and flirting with visiting naval officers - her life is devoted solely to pleasure. When she meets an Australian doctor who warns her of the danger they all face she dismisses him as an ignorant colonial. Singapore carries on partying, but when Japan invades, Susan finds herself in grave danger. As she becomes closer to the tough, arrogant doctor, she has to face many hardships before she can acknowledge the truth.
