Recommendation: - A Far Horizon is a gripping historical saga that masterfully blends fact and fiction, whisking readers away to 18th-century Calcutta. Meira Chand's rich storytelling and vividly drawn characters bring to life the religious cult surrounding the young Sati, and the tense political climate between the British and the nawab. The harrowing night spent by British prisoners in the Black Hole of Calcutta becomes a haunting legend that justifies the British empire's colonization of India. If you're a fan of historical fiction that immerses you in a captivating world, this is a book you won't want to miss.

Singapore, 1927. Three young people are starting to question whether this in between island can ever truly be their home. Mei Lan comes from a famous Chinese dynasty but yearns to free herself from its stifling traditions. Ten year old old Howard seethes at the indignities heaped on his fellow Eurasians by the colonial British. Raj, fresh off the boat from India, wants only to work hard and become a successful businessman. As the years pass, and the Second World War sweeps through the east, with the Japanese occupying Singapore, the three are thrown together in unexpected ways, and tested to breaking point. Richly evocative, A Different Sky paints a scintillating panorama of thirty tumultuous years in Singapore’s history through the passions and struggles of characters the reader will find hard to forget.
