A Cloistered War
--
Maisie Duncan
The literature of the war in Malaya is naturally dominated by soldiers' tales from the battlefield or behind barbed wire. This book is unusual in that it's not only a Malayan civilian's account of her experiences, but also because the author experienced the war from an unusual viewpoint - a Catholic convent. She wasn't a nun, but sent there initially as a student on her father's remarriage following the death of her mother. Near Fine Paperback 261 pages.
