Description: "Where do you go when it all falls apart? When there's no one to go home for, and you can't see the road ahead? Ella arrives in Vietnam as a single girl on a trip meant for two. Abandoned by her much adored boyfriend, haunted by the mystery of her absent father, Ella loses herself in coconut rum and easy ex-pat friends. Sharing fractured pasts and uncertain futures, Ella begins to feel at home in a landscape scarred by war and betrayal. Hope is gradually returning to Vietnam. Hearts and minds are opening. Will the heavy tropical rains be enough to wash clean the ghosts of the past?"--Provided by publisher.
