Come and meet author Paula Greenlees, who will be signing copies of her new book, The Forgotten Promise.
Malaya, 1920: Two girls make a promise in the shadows of the jungle. A promise that life won’t let them easily keep. Malaya, 1941: Ella is running her late father’s tin mine in the Kledang hills, while Noor works as her cook. When the war that felt so far away suddenly arrives on their doorstep, Ella is torn apart from her family. Her daughter Grace is left in Noor’s care as Japanese soldiers seize the mine. Ella is forced to make an impossible choice that takes her to England, thousands of miles from home. She is desperate to be reunited with her loved ones. But will the life she returns to be anything like the life she left behind?
