Beautiful Place is a novel about leaving and losing home and making
family. It is about being oppressed and angry and wanting a better
life - but how is a better life to be defined? The Villa Hibiscus
is a house by the sea on the exquisite southern coast of Sri Lanka,
home to Padma, a young Sri Lankan woman. The owner of the villa,
Gerhardt, is an elderly Austrian architect to whom Padma was taken
when young by her scheming father, Sunny, who had hoped to seduce
the wealthy new foreigner in the area with his attractive child.
Gerhardt adopts Padma and pays Sunny to stay away until she's grown
up - when Gerhardt expects to have sent Padma to university, far
away. But Padma fails her exams and is lonely in the city, gladly
returning to her beloved old home by the sea. With Gerhardt's help
she creates a guesthouse at the villa and soon guests start to
arrive, opening new vistas for Padma through their friendship and
love. Then Sunny appears, ready to reclaim his daughter...
