Deeply With The Sun in Our Eyes

As the Japanese assault on Malaya begins, naivety and misadventure sends Australian marine engineer, Richard into the care of English doctor, Greda and her philandering planter husband, Edward. In a maelstrom of events, the lives of Richard, Greda, Edward, the malicious Captain Heenan and enigmatic Chinese refugee Eva-consort to all three men-become desolately entwined.

Destiny and abiding love are enmeshed with a tumult of treachery and honour in the shadow of the fall of Singapore, the greatest catastrophe of World War II. For those who like WWII romance novels and colonial thrillers, this book will keep you reading from beginning to end.
