What happened between her "affair" with the umbrella and prison, and her losing her husband and son? What was that romance?

We readers would like to believe in "happily ever after" for Harriet and her loved ones and friends in Singapore. However, WW1 was looming on the horizon in far away Europe. How would this major world war affect these characters? So many events must have changed their world! Wouldn't that make a great continuation of this series? We have so many books in my northern hemisphere about Europe and WW1. Honestly, before Harriet showed up with this series, there wasn't much available fiction written about ordinary people living their lives in her part of the world. I would like to learn how those upcoming times influenced Harriet and her friends' futures in her location.

I have foreshadowed WWI in a couple of places and this is a great question, Denise. Thank you.

Hi from New York! I absolutely love this series and look forward to the next book. What character traits of Harriet do you like best? Also, can we expect more from this series after Agony in Amethyst? I hope so :)
