Innes lived in a remote settlement chaffing at the pettiness of expatriate life, but managing to record with some accuracy and humour the life she experienced. With an introduction by Khoo Kay Kim.

Sobre The Penang Bookshelf
The Penang Bookshelf was set up in mid 2010 principally to introduce Malaysian residents to the variety of books there is available about the country both past and present. We only stock fiction and non-fiction related to Malaysia and the rest of Asia. Much of our current stock of over a thousand different titles is not available in Malaysia. Conversely much of our stock published in Malaysia is difficult to find outside the country. So if there\'s something Malaysia related that you\'re looking for, do please contact us and we\'ll do our best to help. At present details of most of our stock is not on line; we hope it will be eventually!
