This was an engaging read and showed me a side of history I had never heard about. Growing up, we would study the effects of the Second World War on Europe, but little was ever said about Asia. This memoir gives us a detailed, thorough look at one woman's experience of the war in Asia, beginning in Hong Kong, moving on to China, and ending up for a time in India. The beginning seemed a little over detailed at times (so many proposals!), while the end seemed a bit rushed and was lacking in details about how life was post-war, but overall it was an interesting look at war from one woman's perspective.
