Synopsis

Penguin presents the audio book edition of The Missing Sister by Dinah Jefferies, read by Anna Bentinck.

Belle Hatton has embarked upon an exciting new life far from home: a glamorous job as a nightclub singer in 1930s Burma, with a host of sophisticated new friends and admirers. But Belle is haunted by a mystery from the past - a 25 year old newspaper clipping found in her parents' belongings after their death, saying that the Hattons were leaving Rangoon after the disappearance of their baby daughter, Elvira.

Belle is desperate to find out what happened to the sister she never knew she had - but when she starts asking questions, she is confronted with unsettling rumours, malicious gossip, and outright threats. Oliver, an attractive, easy-going American journalist, promises to help her, but an anonymous note tells her not to trust those closest to her. . .

Belle survives riots, intruders, and bomb attacks - but nothing will stop her in her mission to uncover the truth. Can she trust her growing feelings for Oliver? Is her sister really dead? And could there be a chance Belle might find her?

Užburianti vieta, egzotiškoji Birma, jos šventyklos auksiniais stogais ir nepaprasti gėlių sodai. Karštis. Paminima ir pogimdyminė depresija, sąmonės blokas. Įvykis sukrėtęs......more

This was a little bit slow at times but, nevertheless it was a good read. It was set in Burma most of the time but did swing back to England to fill in the back story of the missing daughter. This is my second book by Dinah Jeffries and I have more of hers to read which I’m looking forward to doing.......more
