Whatever Remains is a true story. The fall of Singapore is
considered one of Britain's worst defeats of the Second World War.
For Penny Graham's father, however, it became a life-changing
opportunity to shed once and for all, all of the shackles of a
family he no longer wanted. From 1942 onwards her parents would
carry passports that gave them backgrounds that had nothing to do
with reality. In 2010, a recognised Australian author claimed that
her father and mother were involved in espionage for the British
Government before, during and after World War 2. Although he worked
in Australian naval intelligence during the war, there is no
evidence whatsoever that he was an MI6 spy. He clearly had his own
motives for the change of identity but they had nothing to do with
espionage. Penny Graham spent most of her adult life unravelling
the truth about her family history. Her journey took her around the
world twice, on many twists and turns, false leads and dead ends as
she discovers hew her father managed to hoodwink so many people in
his long and complex life. Whatever Remains is a beautifully
written story about solving mysteries, conquering adversity and
ultimately finding where you belong in the world. It's a slice of
history worth telling.
