About the talk
The family of Francis Light faces an uncertain future. As Penang heads inexorably towards colonial rule, Martinha struggles to claim her rightful inheritance, encountering corruption, prejudice and heartbreak in equal measure. Scattered across the world, her children are forced to negotiate the British establishment alone as best they can with little but their father’s name and reputation to sustain them. From Britain to the Peninsular War, from the social pretensions of Bengal to the court of the Pasha of Egypt, from Java in the company of Raffles to the new city of Adelaide in Australia, the next generation makes its way, its roots firmly planted in the beautiful island of its home.

About Rose
British by birth, Rose Gan has been based in South East Asia for many years. Once a teacher of History and Latin, then a docent  and an editor, Rose is now a successful POPULAR - The Star Readers’ Choice Award nominated author for her celebrated ‘Penang Chronicles’ series.
The book is available for sale at the talk. You can meet the author and get the book autographed at the end of the talk.
