‘A novelist of wit and high intelligence…’ Christopher Koch.

Judith Wilkes, an ambitious journalist, goes to Malaysia to report on an international refugee crisis. Ten years before, Malaysia had provided Judith with her first major career success… but also with personal disaster. Through her encounters with Minou, exotic, young French-Vietnamese wife of a high-ranking diplomat, the ambitious Ralph Hamilton, and, ultimately, with enigmatic Kanan who tries to liberate her, Judith is thrown into dramatic personal and professional conflicts.
