Title : Mangosteen Season - Fenella Madoc - book

Summary :

On December 8, 1941, Alice Hudson's quiet life was shattered by the first bomb dropped by the Japanese on Malaya...
Having recently moved to this remote paradise, Alice left her native England to follow her husband, William, a civil servant. There she met up with Ruth, her sister, also an expatriate, who passed on to her her passion for this exotic country. The only downside: Alice and William are unable to have children...
As the Japanese advance becomes increasingly threatening, Alice and Ruth, like thousands of women and children, take the path of exile, abandoning their homes, their possessions and... their husbands. From Singapore to London, via the Isle of Man, the two sisters will have to learn to live far from home, with the perpetual fear of becoming widows. A fear all the more justified as news from the front becomes increasingly rare, and Alice is finally expecting a happy event...
A poignant novel where passion, drama and history revolve around the exceptional destiny of an ordinary young woman.
