Description
Set in postwar Malaya at the time of independence, this three-part novel offers a rich blend of comedy and sharp observation. Against the backdrop of turmoil and change, it follows Victor Crabbe, a teacher navigating his career and personal life in a multiracial school. The novel is a satirical look at the twilight days of colonialism, with a sweetly ironic tone that pokes fun at the complexities of social hierarchy and cultural identity. With its razor-sharp wit and engaging narrative, this work provides a unique insight into the complexities of post-war Malaya. With 512 pages, this paperback edition is an excellent choice for readers looking to explore the intricacies of colonial history and culture through a humorous and thought-provoking lens.
