A heartbreaking story of survival set in World War II Hong Kong, perfect for fans of Dinah Jefferies A country at war. A love to last a lifetime.

Hong Kong 1941, Fifteen-year-old Kate lives a rarefied life of wealth and privilege in the pre-war Hong Kong expatriate community, but when the Japanese invade she’s interned in squalid Stanley Camp with her parents.

Enduring cramped conditions, humiliation, disease, and starvation, Kate befriends seventeen-year-old Charles, and they give their hearts to each other under the orchid tree.

But neither of the young lovers know what terrible cruelties lie in their future. The internment camp is just the beginning, and as they face the horrors of war, will they - as well as their bond - survive?

From international bestselling author Siobhan Daiko, an evocative, moving and heartbreaking story of survival against the odds. Perfect for readers of Dinah Jefferies, Ann Bennett and Kate Furnivall.
