A girl. Three passports. Some grannies. A monsoon or two. And a well-traveled sarong.
Anoushka never inconveniences anyone-not even when her parents set off for jungles and leave her behind, most recently in country-number-seven with The Montgomery's. But that is about to change. The Montgomery's may be an institution in post-colonial Singapore, but not even they can stop all hell breaking loose when Anoushka takes up with the old ladies at Saint Beatrice Hospital Elderly Ward. With Po-Po's old mahjong set turning up and Anoushka's father Peter discovering what Mr Montgomery has been up to, a world of family secrets begins to unfold. Anoushka's life is about to take a drastic turn.
