About the book

Singapore, 1965. The oldest trade in the Strait has been a crime since two governments declared each other enemies, and the small boats go on crossing anyway. Aurelia Fanshawe is thirty-seven, is carrying an overdraft she cannot service, and arrives to find a dining club has opened two unmarked rooms above a bank and filled them with manuals about what may lawfully be sold to whom. In August the island becomes a separate country overnight. In November a colony four thousand miles away declares itself independent, and the two rooms turn ninety degrees in a fortnight with the same staff and the same shelves. And in between, for the first time in her life, she breaks a law.
