Overview:
Set in post-World War II Malaysia, Yun Ling Teo, a Cambridge Law graduate, takes a break from prosecuting Japanese war criminals to explore Northern Malaysia, where she grew up as a child. There she meets the exiled gardener of the Emperor of Japan, Aritomo, and begins to learn his trade. Though initially wary of the Japanese gardener, she soon becomes enthralled by his skill and by the oasis that they have jointly created: the ‘Garden of Evening Mists’ is a peaceful haven within the violent maelstrom of guerrilla warfare in Northern Malaysia. Eng’s gently woven tale, infused with a hint of suspense and inundated in historical import, is well worthy of a place on the short list.
ENJOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
