| Notes | In 1972, Sarah Wode-Douglass--the editor of a London literary magazine--has no particular curiosity about Malaysia, though her interest in John Slater has always been keen. A famous poet, Slater figured prominently in the disaster that was her parents' marriage. Many years after he mother's suicide, Sarah wonders still what Slater knows that she does not; so when he proposes that she accompany him to Kuala Lampur, she embarks on a journey that will profoundly alter every aspect of her life. |
