BOOK NOW

During the Second World War, Japanese-occupied Malaysia witnessed so much terror that the country needed many decades to stand on its feet again. Sisters Yun Ling and Yun Hong were detained in a Japanese concentration camp, hidden deep in the jungle, where they suffered tortures and traumas. This included Yun Hong’s death: she was burnt alive when the Japanese soldiers evacuated the camp. Several years after the war, Yun Ling begins her journey to fulfil her sister’s dream of having a beautiful Japanese-style garden. To achieve this, she seeks out a former Imperial landscaper, but then she develops strong feelings for him that will jeopardise her future.
