An Eastern Promise

A Journey Across Continents, A Love That Defies Borders

An Eastern Promise by Dorothy Webster, published by Martins in 2008, is a sweeping romantic saga that transports readers from the quiet familiarity of post-war Britain to the rich, vibrant landscapes of the East. This beautifully written novel explores the power of love, identity, and the promises we make—both to others and to ourselves.

When young and determined Clara Morgan leaves her small English town to work abroad, she expects adventure—but nothing could prepare her for what she finds in the exotic world of 1950s Singapore. Amidst the heat and color of a place so different from everything she knows, Clara meets Daniel—a man whose charm and quiet intensity captivate her heart.

But in a society shaped by tradition, secrets, and colonial divides, their romance is anything but simple. As Clara navigates cultural barriers, family expectations, and her own sense of belonging, she must choose between the life she left behind and the uncertain promise of a future far from home.

An Eastern Promise is a tender, emotionally rich novel filled with atmosphere and heart. Perfect for fans of cross-cultural love stories, sweeping historical settings, and tales of self-discovery.
