Somerset Maugham appears as one of two narrators in this atmospheric novel of love, truth, secrecy and betrayal in 1920s’ colonial Penang. Eng’s airy storytelling is a rare gift: he gives his characters the space to decide when to tell their stories, drawing us into rich, complex and compromised worlds. Magnificent – and rightly longlisted for this year’s Booker prize.
