An exciting first novel set in pre-independence Singapore. Scorpion Orchid follows the lives of four young men—a Malay, an Eurasian, a Chinese and a Tamil—against a backdrop of racial violence and political factions struggling for dominance. Excerpts from classical Malay and colonial English sources appear throughout the narrative, illuminating the roots and significance of this period in history. © 2011 by Estate of Lloyd Fernando. Introduction copyright © 2011 by Robert Yeo. Published in paper format in Singapore by Epigram Books, recorded by Storyside 2020.
