What to expect
Penguin presents the audio book edition of The Missing Sister by Dinah Jefferies, read by Anna Bentinck.
Belle Hatton has embarked upon an exciting new life far from home: a glamorous job as a nightclub singer in 1930s Burma, with a host of sophisticated new friends and admirers. But Belle is haunted by a mystery from the past - a 25 year old newspaper clipping found in her parents' belongings after their death, saying that the Hattons were leaving Rangoon after the disappearance of their baby daughter, Elvira.
Belle is desperate to find out what happened to the sister she never knew she had - but when she starts asking questions, she is confronted with unsettling rumours, malicious gossip, and outright threats. Oliver, an attractive, easy-going American journalist, promises to help her, but an anonymous note tells her not to trust those closest to her. . .
Belle survives riots, intruders, and bomb attacks - but nothing will stop her in her mission to uncover the truth. Can she trust her growing feelings for Oliver? Is her sister really dead? And could there be a chance Belle might find her?
Critics Review

Dinah Jefferies has a remarkable gift for conjuring up another time and place with lush descriptions, full of power and intensity.

My ideal read – I couldn’t put it down
Santa Montefiore on 'The Tea Planter's Wife' -
A sweeping tale, beautifully written in a wonderful setting, heart rending yet ultimately up lifting. Gorgeous.
