The Plantation

Synopsis

When Australian Julie Reagan discovers a book written about wild Malaysia in the 1970s, she decides to find out more about the author - her great aunt. Why did her grandmother refuse to speak about her sister who disappeared from the family, 60 years before? What caused such a severe rift? Julie is invited to stay with her cousins who run the plantation founded by her great grandfather in Malaya a hundred years ago, and she decides to visit in the hope of finding clues to this family mystery. What Julie finds sends her spiralling through generations of loves, deaths, tragedy and the challenges of the present until she discovers her grandmother's shocking secret.

Wonderful story and Di Morrissey easily shows her insight into Malaysia and it's colonial past. The author has woven a delightful story around a protagonist who you can easily relate to. This is the perfect book to take away on holiday or for when your ready for a lighter read. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in getting a quick insight into Malaysia both pre and post World War II along with its colonial past. Morrissey touches on many of the issues that face Malaysia today giving readers a quick insight into the challenges as well as the wonders of its natural environment.
