- Summary
- "In this book, the reader is swept into a time when the country was still Malaya and under British rule. It is a what-if story: what if the Federated Malay States Railways - back in the 1920s - had extended its railway line from Batang Berjuntai (Bestari Jaya) across the Selangor River to Teluk Anson (Teluk Intan)? In the rich imagination of an ex-railwayman, that fictitious corridor - an idea the FMSR conceived but never implemented - comes alive, crossing the states of Selangor and Perak. Thus, the Persel (Perak-Selangor) line on which the exclusive-looking Bernam Mail runs."--Cover 4.
