But would it

Burma, 1945. Bea, Plum, Bubbles, Joy and Lucy are five
young women looking for adventure, fighting a forgotten war in the jungle
attached to the Fourteenth Army. Running a mobile canteen, navigating

life-threatening battles of their own - battles that will haunt the women for
the rest of their lives.
Oxford, 1976. At the height of an impossibly hot

reward, these tiny, exquisitely detailed carvings are never seen again.
London and Galway, 1999. On the eve of the new millennium,
Olivia, assistant to an art dealer, meets Beatrix, an elderly widow who wishes
to sell her late husband's collection of Japanese art. Concealing her own
motives, Olivia travels with Beatrix to a New Year's Eve party, deep in the
Irish countryside, where friendships will be tested and secrets kept for more
than fifty years are spilled...
