Hello to all of you lovely readers! Have I got an exciting new giveaway for you! Thanks to Berkley Trade Publishing, Passages to the Past has one copy of the newest novel from Kate Furnivall, THE WHITE PEARL, up for grabs!
Being a huge fan of Ms Furnivall, I jumped at the chance to review THE WHITE PEARL, and I am LOVING it! It is just as good as I had hoped!
About THE WHITE PEARL
Publication Date: March 6, 2012 | Berkley Trade | 448p
{SYNOPSIS}
National bestselling author of The Russian
Concubine, Kate Furnivall spins a tale of war, desperation, and the
discovery of love off the coast of Malaya.
Malaya, 1941.
Connie Thornton plays her role as a dutiful wife and mother without
complaint. She is among the fortunate after all-the British rubber
plantation owners reaping the benefits of the colonial life. But Connie
feels as though she is oppressed, crippled by boredom, sweltering
heat, a loveless marriage. . .
Then, in December, the Japanese
invade. Connie and her family flee, sailing south on their yacht toward
Singapore, where the British are certain to stand firm against the
Japanese. En route, in the company of friends, they learn that
Singapore is already under siege. Tensions mount, tempers flare, and
the yacht's inhabitants are driven by fear.
Increasingly desperate
and short of food, they are taken over by a pirate craft and its
Malayan crew making their perilous way from island to island. When a
fighter plane crashes into the sea, they rescue its Japanese pilot. For
Connie, that's when everything changes. In the suffocating confines of
the boat with her life upended, Connie discovers a new kind of freedom
and a new, dangerous, exhilarating love.

Once again you have the "bestest" giveaway. My Dad was stuck in southeast Asia at the outbreak of WW2 as a child. Luckily he and my grandparents escaped the Japanese so when I read about this book I was very interested in it. I wonder how much this story matches what my father's situation. Of course he didn't face pirates...
