A Town Like Alice

Surprisingly good book! This is the oldest book I have read so far (voluntarily, not including required reading from school) and I really loved it. I like the two separate stories, from Jean's life as a prisoner in Malaya, to her building Willstown up to be a town like Alice. There were a lot of racial slurs used in this book, which was quite off-putting, which was disappointing, but definitely predictable from a book of this time.

Overall, I enjoyed this book and may read it again.
