LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE
Penang, 1939. Being half Chinese and half English, Philip Hutton always felt like he never belonged. That is until he befriends Hayato Endo, a mysterious Japanese diplomat and master in the art of aikido. But when Japan invades Malaya, Philip realises Endo bears a secret, one powerful enough to jeopardise everything he loves.
This masterful début conjures an unforgettable tale of courage, brutality, loyalty, deceit and love.
