The Gift of Rain is a beautifully executed treatise on loyalty, betrayal, and the redemptive power of forgiveness. Set in Penang during the 1930s, this novel recounts the youth of an aging Philip Hutton, the half-Chinese son of a powerful British family. After befriending the Japanese diplomat, Hayato Endo, who is also a covert agent, Philip embarks on a destructive journey of self-realization. As his relationship with Endo matures, Philip realizes that loyalty is stronger than fear or death.
