GARDEN OF EVENING MISTS
ENG, TAN TWAN
It's Malaya, 1949. After studying law at Cambridge and time spent helping to prosecute Japanese war criminals,
Yun Ling Teoh, herself the scarred lone survivor of a brutal Japanese wartime camp, seeks solace among the
jungle fringed plantations of Northern Malaya where she grew up as a child. There she discovers Yugiri, the only
Japanese garden in Malaya, and its owner and creator, the enigmatic Aritomo, exiled former gardener of the
Emperor of Japan. Despite her hatred of the Japanese, Yun Ling seeks to engage Aritomo to create a garden in
Kuala Lumpur, in memory of her sister who died in the camp. Aritomo refuses, but agrees to accept Yun Ling as
his apprentice 'until the monsoon comes'. Then she can design a garden for herself. As the months pass, Yun
Ling finds herself intimately drawn to her sensei and his art while, outside the garden, the threat of murder and
kidnapping from the guerrillas of the jungle hinterland increases with each passing day. But the Garden of
Evening Mists is also a place of mystery. Who is Aritomo and how did he come to leave Japan? Why is it that
Yun Ling's friend and host Magnus Praetorius, seems immune from the depredations of the Communists? What
is the legend of 'Yamashita's Gold' and does it have any basis in fact? And is the real story of how Yun Ling
managed to survive the war perhaps the darkest secret of all?
