The Flame Tree

Malaysian Jasmine Lian is a partner in a prestigious law firm in London. One of her clients bids for the grandest project in Asia--a complete town and university campus in the Malaysian rainforest--and wants to win the contract by any means necessary. Jasmine must choose between East and West, right and wrong. The Flame Tree offers a vivid snapshot of a fast-developing Malaysia, of moral choices and a woman's search for her cultural identity.
