توضیحات
Jean Paget, a young Englishwoman living in Malaya, is captured by the invading Japanese and forced on a brutal seven-month death march with dozens of other women and children. A few years after the war, Jean is back in England, the nightmare behind her. However, an unexpected inheritance inspires her to return to Malaya to give something back to the villagers who saved her life. Jean's travels lead her to a desolate Australian outpost called Willstown, where she finds a challenge that will draw on all the resourcefulness and spirit that carried her through her war-time ordeals.

One of my mum's favourite books, I finally got around to reading it myself. I enjoyed the story, but found myself shocked at the outstanding sexism in the way Jean is considered incapable of handling her own finances where her inheritance is concerned, but once she is married there's no problem because the man can deal with it all. Huh.
