Description:
Penang, 1939. Sixteen-year-old Philip Hutton is a loner. Half English, half Chinese and feeling neither, he discovers a sense of belonging in an unexpected friendship with Hayato Endo, a Japanese diplomat. Philip shows his new friend around his adored island of Penang, and in return Endo trains him in the art and discipline of aikido.

But such knowledge comes at a terrible price. The enigmatic Endo is bound by disciplines of his own and when the Japanese invade Malaya, threatening to destroy Philip's family and everything he loves, he realises that his trusted sensei - to whom he owes absolute loyalty - has been harbouring a devastating secret. Philip must risk everything in an attempt to save those he has placed in mortal danger and discover who and what he really is.

With masterful and gorgeous narrative, replete with exotic and captivating images, sounds and aromas - of rain swept beaches, magical mountain temples, pungent spice warehouses, opulent colonial ballrooms and fetid and forbidding rainforests - Tan Twan Eng weaves a haunting and unforgettable story of betrayal, barbaric cruelty, steadfast courage and enduring love.


'I'm glad to have come across this poignant novel of betrayal and duty. There are familiar elements - coming of age, the tragedy of war - but its setting, its character, its themes, and how these play off one another are highly original ... A masterful achievement.'
-The Age

'Glorious ... W hat it reveals about the human capacity for acceptance and grace, even under the most trying conditions, transcends time and circumstance ... Rain is a gift indeed, as robu

Finally Something That Works For Me
Style: Blemish Clearing Toner, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Imma be honest - I haven’t had great skin for over 30 years. I feel like like there’s always :something: that makes me resort to only being comfortable wearing make-up any day I have to see people / leave the house. But, I started using Thayers in October 2025 (I created my own “Thayers system”: salicylic toner, salicylic pads, and - at times - the stuff in the little dropper bottle) and I can honestly say that :finally: something is working for my skin! I have tried everything! But Thayers is it for me these days. Thank you!!

Awesome!
Style: Blemish Clearing Toner, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Love this product! I've used witch hazel for a long time as a toner and to help keep acne under control. Thayer's is the brand I've always used and loved. This one is specific for acne and blemishes, so I thought I'd give this blend a try. There is a slight fruit loop smell (it fades quickly!) and I feel like it's slightly sticky (which is not how plain witch hazel feels) but that also goes away as it dries. I use this anywhere on my face, but especially where there are blemishes and acne. It works well, and doesn't seem to adversely react with my rosacea , which is a plus! I let it air dry, then apply my favorite moisturizer. Results come quickly, and I love how clean and fresh and skin feels!

Great Toner!
Style: Blemish Clearing Toner, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have both rosacea and acne. I use this to control my acne breakouts, and it never makes my rosacea flare up. It’s really good toner & I highly recommend it. It has never made me have any sort of rash/breakout/reaction.

Works
Style: Blemish Clearing Toner, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've had horrible acne issues for the past 2 years since having my daughter. I've tried everything to get rid of it and nothing was working until I tried this stuff! Within 2 days the redness was significantly reduced and I've been having far less issues with my skin. It did cause the skin to purge in the areas I get the most blemishes but that is normal according to Google

This Thayers Blemish Clearing toner is fantastic. It does not have an offensive smell, nor is it abrasive to the skin. Consistent use will see your skin's condition improve.
