The Missing Sister
Autor Dinah Jefferiesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 mar 2019
'I was gripped, moved and utterly in thrall to this deeply emotional and compelling tale' Kate Furnivall
Belle Hatton has embarked upon an exciting new life far from home: a glamorous job as a nightclub singer in 1930s Burma, with a host of sophisticated new friends and admirers. But Belle is haunted by a mystery from the past - a 25 year old newspaper clipping found in her parents' belongings after their death, saying that the Hattons were leaving Rangoon after the disappearance of their baby daughter, Elvira.
Belle is desperate to find out what happened to the sister she never knew she had - but when she starts asking questions, she is confronted with unsettling rumours, malicious gossip, and outright threats. Oliver, an attractive, easy-going American journalist, promises to help her, but an anonymous note tells her not to trust those closest to her. . .
Belle survives riots, intruders, and bomb attacks - but nothing will stop her in her mission to uncover the truth. Can she trust her growing feelings for Oliver? Is her sister really dead? And could there be a chance Belle might find her?
'A moving and complex story, beautifully told' Isabel Wolff
'Dinah Jefferies has a knack of getting under the skin of her exotic locations and this story about loss and love, set in sultry Burma during the troubled 1930s, is no exception' Kate Riordan

Jefferieswas
born
in
Malaysia
and
moved
to
England
at
the
age
of
nine.
Her
idyllic
childhood
always
held
a
special
place
in
her
imagination,
and
when
she
began
writing
novels
in
her
60s,
she
was
able
to
return
there
-
first
in
her
fiction
and
then
on
annual
research
trips
for
each
new
novel.

Recenzii
Iwas
gripped,
moved
and
utterly
in
thrall
to
this
deeply
emotional
and
compelling
tale.Jefferies
is
truly
a
master
of
her
craft.
She
writes
so
vividly
I
could
feel
the
Rangoon
grit
under
my
finger
nails
and
the
humidity
heavy
on
my
skin.
This
powerful
story
explores
the
all-consuming
impact
of
family
and
lifts
the
lid
with
an
intimate
sensitivity
on
how
we
deal
with
loss
and
betrayal
in
our
lives.
Belle
and
Diana
are
wonderful
characters
who
leapt
effortlessly
into
my
life
and
whirled
me
through
a
helter-skelter
of
danger
and
suspicion
that
had
me
turning
the
pages
late
into
the
night.
As
always
with
a
Dinah
Jefferies
book
the
research
was
meticulous.
I
loved
it.
The Missing Sisteris arich and enjoyable readon so many levels. It's an intriguing mystery, a deliciously rewarding romance, and a searing portrait of mental breakdown. 1930s Burma is vividly evoked and the plot is worked out to a conclusion that is not simply satisfying, but almost magical.This is a moving and complex story, beautifully told.
I positively raced throughThe Missing Sisterthis week and adored it!It's full of Dinah Jefferies' trademark atmosphere, with the colours and scents and wildlife of Burma described so vividly I felt I was there - and there's a terrific story too.
Dinah has an infallible ability to draw us into deliciously exotic worlds, andThe Missing Sisteris no exception. The superficial glamour of late colonial-era Burma reveals unsettling undercurrents and growing unrest, the perfect backdrop for the thrilling tale of a singer's desperate search for her lost sister.A wonderfully compelling, immersive read with characters that stay with you long afterwards.
My ideal read -I couldn't put it down
A sweeping tale, beautifully written in a wonderful setting, heart rending yet ultimately uplifting. Gorgeous.
The Missing Sisteris a pacy, intriguing novel. Set in an exotic, little-known location, it draws you in to its secrets and dangers; the dark recesses of Burma.I stayed up all night reading.
