**********************************************


SHE ONLY LIVED FOR PLEASURE...

...until war forced her to find courage she did not know she had, and love where she least expected it.

1941: Britain is in the grip of war; life in the Far East is one of wealth and privilege.

In Singapore Susan Roper enjoys dancing, clothes and fast cars, tennis and light flirtations with visiting naval officers - her life is devoted solely to pleasure and dismisses any warnings of danger.

Singapore goes on partying, oblivious to the threat of invasion and believing the British flag will, protect them from all enemies. But when Japan invades, Susan finds herself in grave danger. She becomes an ambulance driver and is taken prisoner by the Japanese.

Gradually and reluctantly she realises that she will have to face many hardships and witness terrible events, forcing her to acknowledge the truth...But will this new world lead her to a love where she least expects it?

Margaret Mayhew was born in London, and has always been fascinated by the history of the second world war. She began writing in her mid-thirties and spent some time living in America. She is married to American aviation author, Philip Kaplan, and lives near Cheltenham.
