Product Information

Singapore - a trading post where different lives jostle and mix. It is 1927, and three young people are starting to question whether this inbetween island can ever truly be their home. Mei Lan comes from a famous Chinese dynasty but yearns to free herself from its stifling traditions; ten-year-old Howard seethes at the indignities heaped on his fellow Eurasians by the colonial British; Raj, fresh off the boat from India, wants only to work hard and become a successful businessman. As the years pass, and the Second World War sweeps through the east, with the Japanese occupying Singapore, the three are thrown together in unexpected ways, and tested to breaking point. Richly evocative, A Different Sky paints a scintillating panorama of thirty tumultuous years in Singapore's history through the passions and struggles of characters the reader will find it hard to forget.

Immediately after purchase, I contacted the seller re a shipping address change. Seller never responded, package was sent to wrong address, took 10 days to arrive, from time of order & then had to be shipped to correct address. The listing title and description both refer to the bracelets as “new.” The bracelets are CLEARLY NOT NEW! In fact, they are dirty with brown crusty matter stuck between beads & brown stained elastic on which the beads are strung. Item waspackaged in beat up/stained box.

So you are blaming me for your address mistake. You are clearly not familiar with Erimish products as their old "dirty brown" look is their signature. these two pieces have been in my shop awhile they are my last 2 pieces of Erimish and will be my last pieces because i have decided to no longer carry Erimish. But i assure they were new and unworn!! I didn't promise you a pretty box....i just used it for shipping to protect your beads.
