Violet has organised her life in Singapore with a zeal that keeps her family close by her side, and any intimacy safely at bay. While she chases the attention of a German doctor, her daughter and her friends spend their days lost in a hollow world of make believe, memories,
and old Agatha Christie novels.
But a death shatters Violet s grip on the world around her. Was this murder, accident, or suicide? With the authorities drawing closer, the family just has hours to try and piece together what really happened. Is this a puzzle, a tragedy, or a crime? Is Violet s role to bring the truth to light, or bury it alongside the rest of Changi camp s grizzly history?
Over the next forty-eight hours, Violet will find out once and for all whether her efforts to control her family s lives have protected them, or simply left them at the mercy of someone else s stories.
Changi is a story of obsession, revenge and jealousy that mixes stark emotional power with elements of a classic whodunit.
