And the Rain My Drink

Set against the backdrop of the 1948 Communist uprising in Malaya, the story follows Suyin, a Chinese girl torn between her love for a British police officer and her growing sympathy for the Communist guerrillas. As she navigates the complexities of colonial tensions and rising nationalism, Suyin's perspective offers a critical view of British colonialism. This classic tale explores themes of love, loyalty, and the struggle for identity amidst political turmoil, enhanced by a new foreword from Dr. Leon Comber.
