About this ebook
A MAJOR AMAZON PRIME TV SERIES RELEASING 26TH JANUARY 2024 STARRING NICOLE KIDMAN, SARAYU BLUE AND JI-YOUNG YOO
'Devastating and heartwarming, and exquisite in every way, this is a book you'll fall deeply in love with and never want to put down' Kevin Kwan, author of Crazy Rich Asians
'I raced through this enthralling story' Liane Moriarty
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Piano Teacher, a searing novel of marriage, motherhood and the search for connection far from home.
Expats come to the glittering city of Hong Kong for myriad reasons - to find or lose themselves in a foreign place, and to forget or remake themselves far from home. Three women's lives to collide in ways that rewrite every assumption of their privileged world:
Mercy, a young Korean American and recent Columbia graduate, once again finds herself compromised and adrift, trying to start her life anew.
Hilary, a wealthy housewife, is haunted by her struggle to have a child, hoping to save her uncertain marriage.
Margaret, once the enviable mother of three, tries to negotiate an existence that has become utterly unrecognizable after a catastrophic event.
Faced with unthinkable choices, these three women form a profound connection that defies the norms of the sequestered community - finding in each other a strength borne of need, forgiveness, and ultimately hope.
Brilliantly plotted and written, utterly absorbing' Daily Mail
'An emotionally gripping page-turner' Elle
