Another beautifully crafted historical novel by Tan Twan Eng. Set in the highlands of Malaya after World War II, the story revolves around Yun Ling Teoh, a survivor of a Japanese wartime camp, who seeks solace and healing. She becomes the apprentice of Aritomo, a former gardener to the Japanese Emperor, to learn the art of gardening in the creation of a memorial garden for her late sister.
As Yun Ling uncovers the secrets of the garden and its creator, the novel delves into themes of memory, loss, forgiveness, and the lingering impacts of war. It's a poignant and atmospheric tale that explores the complexities of human relationships and the search for peace amidst turmoil.
