Jennifer (JC-S)'s review of The Gift of Rain
The Gift of Rain by Tan Twan Eng
An amazing and engaging first novel. The novel commences on Penang Island in 1939 and traces the friendship of Philip Hutton with Hayato Endo through to the end of World War II in the Pacific.
It is a story of belonging, identity, betrayal and cruelty. It is also a novel of humanity, of love and tremendous courage.
Highly recommended.
