The garden of evening mists : a novel / Tan Twan Eng.
Malaya, 1951. Yun Ling Teoh, the scarred lone survivor of a brutal Japanese wartime camp, seeks solace among the jungle-fringed tea plantations of Cameron Highlands. There she discovers Yugiri, the only Japanese garden in Malaya,and its owner and creator, the enigmatic exiled former gardener of the emperor of Japan... The gardener agrees to accept Yun Ling as his apprentice “until the monsoon comes.” Then she can design a garden for herself... She finds herself drawn to the gardener and his art, while all around them a communist guerilla war rages. But the Garden of Evening Mists remains a place of mystery. Who is Arimoto and how did he come to leave Japan? And is the real story of how Yun Ling managed to survive the war perhaps the darkest secret of all? -- Back cover
