Han Suyin: And the Rain My Drink

The semi-autobiographical story takes place during the fifth year of the Malayan Emergency. Written by Chinese-Flemish writer Han Suyin, it speaks of a time when the Malayan National Liberation Army forces had just been eradicated, although the war was far from over. The author shows an affinity for the cause of the leftists and communists, whom she understood to be fighters of British colonialism.
