The Gift of Rain by Tan Twan Eng

This beautifully written first novel by Tan Twan Eng is a moving complex story of loyalty, honour and courage set in Penang during WWII. The narrative is filled with haunting imagery that shows the author's love of his homeland. Short listed for the Man Booker Prize, The Gift of Rain is a gift to all who love a enthralling historical novel. (This review was submitted by a Mosman Library reader.)
