The Malaysian lawyer and author Matthew Thomas was introduced by his family to Anne when he was 29. Despite their initial trepidation, they got along very well and within a ear they were married. Decades later, she would lie in a coffin at the same church they were married in.
Ivy on Stone is his memoir of their marriage, and of how he has struggled to come to terms with her death. This deeply personal tribute is not only a record of love and grief, but of a humanistic faith that transcends orthodoxy as he recounts the life they had. ＂An inspiring story of love lost and the quest for meaning; all related through a life filled with fun, travel, joy, sadness, and the search for inner reconciliation.＂- Sikeena Karmali, author of The Mulberry Courtesan and A House by the Sea＂An outstanding and inspiring paean to love at its supreme, tender best. Will move you to tears at the premature termination of a love affair par excellence.＂
- Tommy Thomas, author of Justice in the Wilderness
