Summary:
Burma, 1945: Bea, Plum, Bubbles, Joy and Lucy are five young women looking for adventure - fighting a forgotten war in the jungle, attached to the Fourteenth Army as they run a mobile canteen, navigating treacherous roads and dodging hostile gunfire. Oxford, 1976: A woman slips into a museum and steals several rare Japanese netsuke, including the famed fox-girl. Despite the offer of a considerable reward, these tiny, exquisitely detailed carvings are never seen again. London and Galway, 1999: On the eve of the new millennium, Olivia, assistant to an art dealer, meets Beatrix, an elderly widow who wishes to sell her late husband's collection of Japanese art. Concealing her own motives, Olivia travels with Beatrix to a New Year's Eve party deep in the Irish countryside, where friendships will be tested - and secrets kept for more than fifty years will be spilled.
