As the Second World War rages, the Japanese Imperial Army enters
Burma and the British rulers prepare to flee. But the human legacy
of the British Empire will be left behind in the shape of sixty-two
Anglo-Burmese children, born to local women after affairs with
foreign men. Half-castes, they are not acknowledged by either side
and they are to be abandoned with no one to protect them. Their
teacher, Grace Collins, a young Englishwoman, refuses to join the
European evacuation and instead sets out to deliver the orphans to
the safety of India. She faces impossible odds because between her
and India lie one thousand miles of jungle, mountains, rivers and
the constant, unseen threat of the Japanese. With Japanese soldiers
chasing them down, the group s chances of survival shrink - until
they come across a herd of fifty-three elephants who, with their
awesome strength and kindness, quickly become the orphans only hope
of survival. Based on a true story, Elephant Moon is an
unforgettable epic tale of courage and compassion in the midst of
brutality and destruction.
