Excellent read
Tan Twan Eng's tale of tangled relationships between a transplanted Boer planter, a Japanese master gardener, and a Straits Chinese judge weaves together Zen Buddhism and the modern history of Asia into a fascinating blend of philosophy, history, and sensuousness. Highly recommended.
