The Garden of Evening Mists, published in January 2012, is the second novel by Malaysian novelist Tan Twan Eng. (The first was The Gift of Rain (2007).) The protagonist of The Garden is the judge Teoh Yun Ling,[footnote 1] who was a prisoner of the Japanese during World War II and later served as an apprentice to a Japanese gardener. As the story begins, she is trying to make sense of her life and experiences. The novel takes place during three different time periods: the late 1980s, when the main character writes down her story; the early 1950s, when the main action takes place; and World War II, which provides the backdrop for the story.[1] Critical reception for the book was generally favourable. It was awarded the Man Asian Literary Prize (2012)[2] and the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction
