刘杰森代表新加坡1950年代典型的英校生：名校出身、专注课业、漠视政治，学成后当上公务员。而他偏偏爱上了华校生秀丽。后者怀着改革社会的信念与理想，满腔热血投入抗争运动。福利巴士工潮爆发，让来自截然不同世界的两个青年结成姻缘；可是秀丽却在一次逮捕行动中被迫仓促逃亡，留下丈夫和一对双胞胎初生宝宝。秀丽最终走入森林加入马共游击队，投身反殖斗争。杰森则在秀丽不告而别后带着不解和背叛郁郁过完下半生。另一人物是南德，父亲在峇冬加里大屠杀中遇难，他与母亲及村内其他妇孺遭英军连夜迁至新村士毛月，在戒严时代的严格管控和恐惧氛围中长大。南德成年后到吉隆坡当修车厂学徒，但屠杀阴影与新村经历让他在大都会感到迷失疏离。偶然在一场文娱晚会遇见逃到吉隆坡的秀丽，深受其理想影响，放下对母亲的牵挂，毅然加入马共森林游击队。作者程异用温和写实的手法，通过平凡人物的生活、情感和理想，以及人物间的互动和牵系，描绘新马社会的面貌，讲述跨越数十年的时代故事，甚至弥合英语教育和中文教育的差异，为中文读者带来新视角。
