Description
It is raining heavily in Sarawak, Malaysia, and Leila, now living in Kuala Lumpur, must return home to help her Mak before the floods become serious. She has not been home since her father’s death and is not ready to face what awaits her there. Life with Pak was complicated. In Sarawak, Leila meets Arthur, the boy she has thought about ever since they first met at school. He offers her support, care and love, but perhaps at a cost too great for her. As the floodwaters rise and her family and home are threatened, Leila must confront the enormity of her past in order to move forward in the present. This meaningful novel explores the fine line between care and control, and between love and abuse within families, while showing that it is possible to move on to a brighter future.
