On the journey out, he quickly makes the acquaintance of two beautiful sisters - one single, the other married - also making their way out to the Far East. In the confines of the ship, when conventional morality is shelved for the duration, the seeds of a scandal are sown.\" \"Seventy years later, Edward Mackay almost dies of a sudden and devastating illness. While he is recuperating in the family home, and trying to come to terms with his own mortality, he stumbles upon a box labelled in his father's writing with the word Penang. The box's contents, together with a casual remark of his mother's, sets Edward off on a quest. From his new home on the wild and beautiful island of Orkney, Edward begins to unravel the story of a man he loved but didn't know: his father, Dr. Alexander Mackay, now years dead after a long and blameless career. What he discovers, and the help he receives along the way, astonishes him and begins to shed light on his own existence.\"--BOOK JACKET.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-details\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780753820070\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 512\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 July 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Used – Very Good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Used – Very Good","offer_id":58232464539912,"sku":"9780753820070-UsedVeryGood","price":3.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/5297\/7928\/files\/standardized_3318e95b2b394a705d3f0b94fa795319.jpg?v=1784025907","url":"https:\/\/www.azbooks.co.uk\/products\/9780753820070","provider":"AZ Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
