Thomas Stamford Raffles, driven and talented, manoeuvres at the centre of global networks of power, trade, politics and diplomacy. His scheming culminates, to his eventual glory, with the founding of a new trading post: Singapore. This historical novel takes the form of two diaries written by his two wives, Olivia and Sophia, providing a fascinating fictionalised biographical sketch of an exceptional man, as seen through the eyes of the two people closest to him.
