Product Information

Like Chinese silk, The Red Thread is, by turns, gentle and strong, exploring a love that breaks through the divide of race and culture, a love that is both deeply physical and a marriage of souls.

Set against the backdrop of 1830s Singapore where piracy, crime, triads and tigers are commonplace, this cultural romance follows the struggle of two lovers: Zhen, once the lowliest of Chinese coolies and triad members, later chosen to marry into a family of rich Chinese merchants; and Charlotte, an 18-year-old Scots girl and sister of Singapore's colonial Head of Police.

Two cultures bound together by the invisible threads of fate yet separated by cultural diversity. This historical romance is full of passion and intrigue.
