Amber Road

An epic tale of love and loss in WWII Malaya and Singapore.

It's 1941 and seventeen-year-old Victoria Khoo, daughter of a wealthy family of Straits Chinese, lives in luxury in colonial Singapore. Her carefree days are spent fantasising about marrying Sebastian Boustead, scion of a great British merchant family, and becoming mistress of his imposing mansion on Amber Road. Not even Sebastian's arrival from London with his new fiancée, Elizabeth Nightingale, can dampen her dreams …

Then the war reaches Asia. First Malaya falls to the Japanese then ‘Fortress Singapore' abruptly surrenders. As the inhabitants are deserted by Britain, Victoria is forced to protect both her family and her rival, Elizabeth, from the cruelty of the occupation. Victoria's old life has vanished in a heartbeat – but nothing and no one will stand in the way of her destiny. Not the war. Not Elizabeth. And certainly not Joe Spencer, the charismatic Australian who both charms and infuriates her at every turn . . .

With intrigue, romance and suspense, Amber Road tells an epic story of one woman's indomitable spirit against the backdrop of a world at war
