Genre: Asian Historical Fiction
In the spring of 1939, dashing young William
Burton and the beautiful Constance Han set sail from London on the same
ocean liner to Hong Kong.
Romance blossoms while they enjoy games of deck
quoits and spend sultry tropical evenings dancing under the stars. Connie is
intrigued by Will’s talent for writing poetry, and she offers to give him
Cantonese lessons to help him with his new job— a cadet in the colonial
service.
But once in Hong Kong, Connie is constrained by
filial duty towards her Eurasian parents, and their wish for her to marry
someone from her own background. She can't forget Will however and arranges to meet
him in secret under the magnificent canopy of a flame of the forest tree—where
she fulfils her promise to teach him to speak Chinese.
Before too long, trouble looms as Japanese forces
gather on the border between Hong Kong and mainland China. Will joins a
commando group tasked with operating behind enemy lines, and Connie becomes
involved in the fight against local fifth columnists.
When war breaks out, they find themselves drawn into a wider conflict than their battle against prejudice. Can they survive and achieve a future together? Or do forces beyond their control keep them forever apart
Based on a little-known true story, The Flame Tree is a tale of love and survival against all the odds.
