Tan Twan Eng’s second novel is a tantalisingly evocative mystery set in Malaya in the late 1940s, a country in recovery from the Second World War.

Malay, 1949. Law graduate Yun Ling Teoh, the scarred lone survivor of a brutal Japanese wartime camp, seeks solace among the plantations of the Cameron Highlands. Here she discovers Yugiri, the only Japanese garden in Malaya, and its creator, the secretive Aritomo. He agrees to accept Yun Ling as his apprentice so that she can design her own garden as a memorial to her sister. But over time the jungle starts to reveal secrets of its own.

"Tan, as readers may surmise, cites Ishiguro as an influence...The Garden of Evening Mists also offers action-packed, end-of-empire storytelling in the vein of Tan’s compatriot Tash Aw. His fictional garden cultivates formal harmony –but also undermines it. It unmasks sophisticated artistry as a partner of pain and lies. This duality invests the novel with a climate of doubt; a mood – as with Aritomo's creation – of 'tension and possibility'. Its beauty never comes to rest."  -  The Independent UK

Tan Twan Eng's debut novel The Gift of Rain was longlisted for the 2007 Booker Prize and has been widely translated. The Garden of Evening Mists won the Man Asian Literary Prize 2012 and the 2013 Walter Scott Prize for historical fiction and was shortlisted for the 2012 Booker Prize and the 2014 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award. Tan Twan Eng divides his time between Kuala Lumpur and Cape Town.
