Fiction | Historical
Agnes Hussein, descendant of the last sultan of Singapore
and the last surviving member of her immediate family, has
grown up among her eccentric relatives in the crumbling
Kampong Glam palace, a once-opulent relic given to her
family in exchange for handing over Singapore to the British. Now Agnes is seventeen and her family has fallen into
genteel poverty, surviving on her grandfather’s pension and
the meager income they receive from a varied cast of
boarders. As outside forces conspire to steal the palace out
from under them, Agnes struggles to save her family and
finds bravery, love, and loyalty in the most unexpected places. The Moonlight Palace is a coming-of-age tale rich with
historical detail and unforgettable characters set against
the backdrop of dazzling 1920s Singapore.
