Book excerpt: When respectable, middle-aged English bachelor, Neil Morton, visits the Philippines, he falls in love with a much younger Filipina, Carla, who returns his love. Neil takes early retirement and moves to the Philippines to spend the rest of his life with her. The happiness and fulfilment he finds in his new life in an idyllic setting, contrasts sharply with the emptiness of his previous bachelor existence. Neil begins to rediscover the neglected human side of his character, surprising himself with the results. The idyll, however, is fairly short-lived. Fate steps in and deals the couple a tragic blow, which tests both Neils and Carlas inner resources to the utmost. Has Neil really been changed by his love for Carla? Will he crawl back into his protective shell, as a result of the tragedy? Or will he stand up and be counted in the battle for the survival of his family?
