Memories of Malaya

Memories of Malaya

ByJune Meyer

Memories of Malaya gives an account of colonial life prior to the Independance of Malaya in 1957. The collection of short stories paints an interesting picture of the many cultures, traditions and ways of life. The book is filled with amusing anecdotes, a description of post war Malaya and how different nationalities lived side by side in the 1930's and 1940's. An interesting personal account is given of the family's harrowing escape from the pursuing Japanese invasion down through Malaya to Singapore in 1941. The story continues with an insight into the Communist Emergency years which followed the Second World War. Memories of Malaya is a charming portrait of the author's personal experience and impressions of the era.
