Produktbeschreibung
"My Sister Meda: A Memoir of Old Singapore" is a visual, engaging, and memorable story about family, human relationships, and love in a once British colony. The book describes Saltoon's family as being a part of the Baghdadi Jewish diaspora who sought a safe harbor in Singapore, the island's beauty as well as its multicultural attractions and cuisine. The book reveals a darker side of Singapore, particularly the Japanese occupation and the family's internment in Sime Road Camp during WW2 where they were imprisoned. But it is her sister Meda, who later, through unusual chance correspondence with a man she falls in love with, changes their lives. Her marriage to an American in Hawaii paves the way for an exodus of the family to a new life in the United States at a time when Singapore was transitioning from British rule to independence.
