Description
A stolen sister. A daughter determined to uncover the truth.
'I was gripped, moved and utterly in thrall to this deeply emotional and compelling tale' Kate Furnivall
Belle Hatton has embarked upon an exciting new life far from home: a glamorous job as a nightclub singer in 1930s Burma, with a host of sophisticated new friends and admirers. But Belle is haunted by a mystery from the past - a 25 year old newspaper clipping found in her parents' belongings after their death, saying that the Hattons were leaving Rangoon after the disappearance of their baby daughter, Elvira.
Belle is desperate to find out what happened to the sister she never knew she had - but when she starts asking questions, she is confronted with unsettling rumours, malicious gossip, and outright threats. Oliver, an attractive, easy-going American journalist, promises to help her, but an anonymous note tells her not to trust those closest to her. . .
Belle survives riots, intruders, and bomb attacks - but nothing will stop her in her mission to uncover the truth. Can she trust her growing feelings for Oliver? Is her sister really dead? And could there be a chance Belle might find her?
'A moving and complex story, beautifully told' Isabel Wolff
'Dinah Jefferies has a knack of getting under the skin of her exotic locations and this story about loss and love, set in sultry Burma during the troubled 1930s, is no exception' Kate Riordan

Endlich mal wieder ein toller Schmöker, der einen mit Spannung in andere Welten tauchen lässt. Eine schöne Liebesgeschichte fehlt in diesem Roman mit historischem Setting ebensowenig wie eine dramatische Familiengeschichte. Zum gemütlichen Schmökern an kalten Winterabenden genau das Richtige. Zum historischen Roman fehlt die Historie Burmas, sie dient nur als Kulisse, das hatte ich aber von diesem Buch auch nicht erwartet. Der Schluss hätte etwas mehr ausgeschmückt sein können. Daher ein halber Punkt Abzug. Der Schreibstil war sehr angenehm . Leseempfehlung!
