Night of a Thousand Hells

In 1991 Hajjah Victoria binti Haji Tjek Sun reads the destinies of her three granddaughters: a wanderer, a keeper and a bride. After one sister turns on the others, the sister left behind finds herself stuck, and turns back to her grandmother's house with its huge cooking pots and the well no one may approach, where secrets and unfinished hopes wait for her. When neither travelling nor the holy book can keep them safe, a further sister turns up, unasked, wanting answers. Weaving Islamic tales together with Indonesian folklore, the novel is a gothic story of guilt, disgrace and hauntings.
