This certainly falls into the chick-lit category: the characters are a little 'flat' and the conversations often stilted - but I have to say it's still a rollocking good read for all that.
The novel opens in 1969 in Oxford, UK, where our star-crossed Malaysian lovers - Chinese An-Mei and Muslim Hussein - are aware that once they leave university, their relationship will be difficult. Back in Malaysia there was massive racial conflict and violence at this time, such that An-Mei's parents are fleeing to the UK.
But An-Mei returns home with Hussein, and their problems are only just beginning...
A lot happens, the story keeps you interested and I enjoyed it as an undemanding bit of entertainment. ( )
