About this product

Product Information

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 it 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. Not only the Blacketts, their friends and enemies, but many individuals are caught up in the events. Singapore at this historical watershed has never been so faithfully and passionately recreated.

  • Essential reading for visit to Singapore

    This was third of JG Farrell s books I’ve read and I was not disappointed -set in background of Japanese invasion of Singapore with underlying theme the decay and artificial lifestyle of colonialists ( as in India and Ireland -other 2 books in the triology) - with a poignant love story woven into it . It was great to visit Singapore for a few days just after finishing this book .
