Description

Reggie Kenneison's account of his family is one of omission and revelation. His daughter Rebecca sets out to fill in the gaps left by her father, uncovering a complex web of identity and experience that spans multiple continents. The story begins with Reggie's own enigmatic nature, which he used to deflect attention from certain aspects of his life. However, it was only after his death that Rebecca discovered the extent of what she had been kept in the dark about - particularly her mother's Eurasian heritage. This book is a powerful exploration of one family's experiences during the Pacific War, and the ways in which colonial society and occupation shaped their lives. With great eloquence and clarity, it recounts tales of tragedy, heroism and endurance, shedding new light on a pivotal moment in history.
