Everything has come too easily to Cary Foster, rakishly handsome, growing up in a family of well-to-do bankers near Boston. No, he discovers, it is not space that I need. My need is for DEFINITION. Thus we enter a Romance. The story concerns four daughters who are strong-willed, provocative and challenging, particularly to Cary, a writer newly arrived in 1958 Malaya. From a divorced twenty-seven to a precocious fifteen range the ages of these daughters. ”A handsome stranger appears and no one can find a decent dress to wear,” laments Noor. Noor, their mother, is married to her fourth husband, the owner of a eucalyptus plantation who is murdered. The murder mystery may be solved, but what of the four daughters? Down what forbidden path, winding into the dark unknownfor their love is forbiddendo Cary and his lover tumble?
