Bamboo Island

War-torn journey of love, loss, and discovery.

"Bamboo Island" might speak to you if you're intrigued by the intersection of personal history and the larger canvas of WWII. Ann Bennett weaves a tale of love, regret, and the search for closure that spans across the lush landscapes of Southeast Asia. It's a book that promises deep emotional engagement with its protagonist, drawing on the rich historical context to explore themes of memory and identity. If you enjoy narratives that transport you to another time and place, providing both a gripping story and a window into the past, this could be a compelling read for you.

Juliet Crosby has lived a reclusive life on her Malayan rubber plantation since the Second World War robbed her of everyone she loved. However, the sudden appearance of a young woman from Indonesia disrupts her lonely existence and stirs up unsettling memories. Juliet is forced to recollect her prewar marriage, her wartime ordeals in Japanese-occupied Singapore and the loss of those she once held dear. Bamboo Island is part of a Southeast Asian WWII trilogy of historical fiction that can be read in any order and includes Bamboo Heart and Bamboo Road.
