The White Amah

Strong women, powerful suspense - for anyone who can't get enough of Nora Roberts, Maeve Binchy and Jilly Cooper you'll love this intriguing family saga - set against the backdrop of the timber industry in Malaysia which makes multi-national companies rich while plundering the precious environmental habitat and centuries old tribal way of life.

Ann Massey weaves a spell-binding story of a young woman brought up in the forbidding, rain-drenched jungles of Borneo who, to escape a forced marriage, embarks upon a search for her roots. The only link with her past is a beautiful carved necklace. Her voyage of discovery takes her to England and a prison called Holloway. It is here she finds the cruel and startling truth about her family and her heritage.
