520    "In the city of Bath, in the year 1865, an extraordinary 
       young woman renowned for her nursing skills is convinced 
       that some other destiny will one day show itself to her. 
       But when she finds herself torn between a dangerous affair
       with a female lover and the promise of a conventional 
       marriage to an apparently respectable doctor, her desires 
       begin to lead her towards a future she had never imagined.
       Meanwhile, on the wild island of Borneo, an eccentric 
       British 'rajah', Sir Ralph Savage, overflowing with 
       philanthropy but compromised by his passions, sees his 
       schemes relentlessly undermined by his own fragility, by 
       man's innate greed and by the invasive power of the forest
       itself. Jane's quest for an altered life and Sir Ralph's 
       endeavours become locked together as the story journeys 
       across the globe - from the confines of an English tearoom
       to the rainforests of a tropical island via the slums of 
       Dublin and the transgressive fancy-dress boutiques of 
       Paris."--Publisher
