ABOI
Jahut villager
Taught by her father to respect the forest – “it remembers and protects those who walk gently” – war’s uncaring destruction and pain demands a new resilience. Left out of independence, Aboi seeks to preserve her community in a changing world.
PATRICK
British officer
Promoted to command in his twenties, war reveals courage and an ability to inspire. Yet his superiors’ indecision and prejudice shatter beliefs while a sniper’s bullets leave him physically broken. Returning to Malaya fifteen years later, he trains a new generation of local leaders, his path crossing those of nearly everyone in this story, as he seeks his own redemption.
