Madeleine C. MundayReseñas

This book covers the period December 1936 to June 1941, it describes events in the Shanghai International Settlement as observed by a British teacher and journalist. She also describes holidays in Japan, Ceylon, The Philippines and Korea. By the start of the book Madeleine quite clearly sees Shanghai, not England, as her home, having lived there for ten years. The book is well written and provides interesting insights into the life and running of the International Settlement. She shows the typical prejudices for the time of a European in the colonies. I was surprised by how much the importance of "trade" affected her views.
