The Light That Bends Round Corners available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. ‘An unusual, beautifully rendered and atmospheric novel. The suspenseful storytelling and compelling characters will keep you turning the pages.’ RACHEL HORE, Sunday Times bestseller. Laura, a successful fashion journalist based in London, finds herself uprooted from the world she knows and loves after she moves with her husband and two small children to a dilapidated bungalow in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Behind the house is an overgrown garden inhabited by monkeys, snakes and monitor lizards. A swimming pool sits in the shade of a beautiful jacaranda tree. Mariel, the Filipina maid Laura hires, hasn’t seen her own children for nearly ten years. She’s on a mission to escape her abusive past and finally marry the man she loves despite an ongoing battle against prejudice. Laura’s journey is one of self-discovery, Mariel’s is a fight for a better life. ‘Through the lives of two strong but troubled women, two worlds interweave: the beauty and dangers of Malaysia and the ambitious modern west. This is a sensitive, atmospheric and absorbing novel.’ SUE GEE ‘An exquisitely painful account of cultures on a collision course. Tone perfect, this is a book to make you squirm and laugh aloud!’ DAVID ROBERTS, author of The Lord Edward Corinth mysteries
