Summary: "Marie and Vincent Broom enjoy a pleasant life on Hong Kong Island. Vincent is a New Zealander. Marie, born in Macau, is Portuguese-Chinese. Married for ten years, the couple have four adored children - daughters aged 9, 8 and 5 and a baby son of 14 months. It is December 8, 1941. In a few hours their lives will change forever. Marie wakes in the family's home to the sound of bombs falling nearby. Within days, Japanese soldiers invade the island and their building is surrounded. Vincent is in Singapore. Soon he too is trapped as that island comes under attack. Marie, the children and the family's four live-in amahs must face the increasingly brutal Japanese occupation alone. This page-turning novel, based on a true story, tells of Marie's struggle to save her children from danger, disease and starvation and of Vincent's incredible attempt to rescue them"--Back cover.
