very timely
This book shows the state of the world in the 1930's, before the outbreak of WWII.
A great love story and after all sorts of setbacks and disappointments, true love finally prevailed.
It was written after all the convulsive changes had taken place -
the end of British rule in Asia; the lessening of racial bigotry between whites and non-whites; the eroding of tension between Malays and Chinese. All these had gradually taken place after end of WWII.
It had a retrospective look but it was done marvellously well.
I am somewhat surprised that the author was not really a novelist but a journalist. He did a great job in producing this novel
