Set in colonial Singapore, Island in the East tells the intertwined stories of identical twin sisters in the 1890s and a young woman in the 1940s. Secrets, betrayal, and forbidden love ripple across generations, as the lush backdrop of the island becomes both paradise and prison. Jenny Ashcroft blends romance, history, and suspense into a richly atmospheric novel about identity, loyalty, and the enduring power of family ties.
Popular with readers who love colonial settings, the twin sisters trope, and romance-meets-history storytelling. Perfect for fans of The Tea Planter's Wife by Dinah Jefferies, The Pearl Sister by Lucinda Riley, and The Night Tiger by Yangsze Choo.
