Fiction
As a child, Gail's father, Matthew Lim, lived in a Malaysian
village occupied by the Japanese. He and his beloved Ani
wandered the jungle fringe under the terrifying shadow of
war. The war shattered their families, splitting the two
apart until a brief reunion years later. Matthew's profound
connection to Ani and the life-changing secrets they shared
cast a shadow that, later still, Matthew's wife, Clara,
desperately sought to understand. Gail's journey to unravel the mystery of her parents' lives
takes her to Amsterdam, where she unearths more about this
mysterious other woman. But as Gail approaches the truth,
Ani's story will bring Gail face-to-face, with the untold
mysteries of her own life. Vivid, poignant, and written in understated yet powerful
prose, CERTAINTY is a novel about the legacies of loss, the
dislocations of war, and the timeless redemption afforded by
love.
