Lee Kim Cheng leaves behind his shattered business in Malaysia and travels to London in search of a qualification he believes will open new doors for him. Three months later we find him living in a run-down bedsitter, wrapped against the cold and struggling to make ends meet. Just a few streets away, Isabel Raines is on her way to a first date with the man who will become her husband. Two people, seemingly strangers, going about their lives in the city where people can disappear; two people, both haunted by memories of a former love. Moving between the wet and windswept streets of London and the intense, tropical sunlight of Malaysia, The Journey’s End tells the bittersweet story of a brief but tender affair that was never allowed to run its natural course. Global issues of modern tourism in a fragile environment and a sinister backcloth of terrorism are two of the novel’s underlying themes. The book also reflects on contemporary issues such as the tensions of a failing marriage and the hardships encountered by international students away from home; and because the narrative crosses boundaries – cultural as well as geographical – the book would appeal to an international readership. But above all it is the timeless tale of two people who fall in love; and it is the slow burn of real love between Isabel and Lee that is at the heart of this novel. Theirs is a brief encounter but its aftermath continues to haunt them long after they have gone their separate ways.
