When Victor Cartwright is sent to Malaya on a business trip, he invites his sister, Isabel, to go with him. Isabel, haunted by memories of her childhood in the jungle, has always longed to return to the country where she and Victor were born. She was six years old and Victor a baby when they were evacuated back to England just hours before Malaya fell to the Japanese in 1942. But their parents were left behind, their fate never known. While Victor accepts that their parents met the same end as many others in those last days of the Empire, Isabel is sure there is more to the story. In Kuala Lumpur, on a visit to the house where they lived before the Japanese came, the house Isabel has dreamed of for so long, she begins to recall those dim and distant days. The house is full of ghosts for her, exotic and troubling, and when Victor meets with an accident there, Isabel is convinced it holds some terrible secret. She sets off alone to explore the enigma of her parents's lives, and through Oliver Bailey, an Englishman who once knew them, and an even more surprising figure from the past, she finally unravels the long hidden mysteries.

Deeper Waters

It is June in the turbulent year of 1968. Tim Bruce is about to leave on a trip to Europe before being drafted into the war in Vietnam. At a party at his parent's home, he overhears his father, Carlton, tell a stranger about his service in the Second World War, a place called Clarrach, and a woman named Gwyneth. Carlton says, "I'd have married her if it hadn't been for the war." Tim has never heard of this woman, and something in his father's voice makes him decide to seek her out. She lives near Clarrach, a small town high in the hills of Wales, in a house with thick stone walls, hand-hewn beams, and a roof of blue Welsh slate. Now married to the local doctor, Rhys Edwards, she is not happy to be reminded of a figure from her past. Very reluctantly, she invites Tim into her house. Both expect this to be a mere fleeting visit, but circumstances beyond their control cause Tim to end up spending days with Gwyneth and Rhys. During that time, he learns of his father's connection to her, and comes to admire the acerbic Rhys and his way of practicing medicine. Tim falls in love with the ancient country of Wales and, especially, with the beautiful and enigmatic Gwyneth. The Sound of Her Name spans two generations and two troubled times: the Vietnam era and the Second World War. It is a story of love, betrayal, and the loss of innocence, and also of a search for redemption, renewal, and forgiveness.
