Overview
One ship. Seventeen sailors. A secret beneath the sea. A love no one can admit.
Singapore Strait, 2022. When the Aurelia, a European cargo ship, is detained by the Indonesian navy off the island of Bintan, EU envoy Andrea Morosini is sent to make the problem disappear quietly. Seventeen Filipino sailors are trapped aboard with dwindling water, and nobody will say why the ship cannot leave.
On Bintan, Andrea finds a world no treaty describes: a Bugis matriarch who trades in favours, a colonel who sings in church, and Intan, a shipping clerk on a red scooter who knows the harbour's secrets better than any navy. Their love is forbidden on her island, and it may be the most dangerous thing either of them has ever done.
From the hawker centres of Singapore to the monsoon streets of Jakarta and the scarred walls of Manila's Intramuros, Innocent Passage is a sweeping novel of power, faith and freedom on the busiest sea lanes on earth, where every line drawn on the water hides a secret, and the people in the middle pay the price.
