|summary=A young woman frantically searches Malaya for her husband and young daughters during the 'Emergency'.

Despite these irritations, the book also has a lot to redeeming features. Emma is a delightful character and the parts of the story written from her teenage perspective are a pleasure to read. The descriptions of life in Malaya, drawn from the author’s own experiences, are powerfully evocative and transport the reader to another time and place. The author had clearly done her research, which added credibility to the storyline.The ending was beautifully written and made me feel glad that I had not given up on the story, despite my misgivings.
