5.0 out of 5 stars
My most memorable read,
By Maureen Tavani (Western Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: White Coolies (Paperback)
I was given this book to read when it was first published - 1954 - when I was 12 years old. I am now 58! The courage, humour, resourcefulness and sheer mental tenacity displayed by this group of women astounded me - even as a 12 year old. I seemed to bond with them. I wept when prisoners were abused or died and laughed myself silly when they pulled funny pranks on their loathesome Japanese guards. I am an avid reader but there has never been another book which has left such an impression on me. As a high school student of English, I chose "White Coolies" as a book review assignment. I remember scoring very highly. I am keen to obtain a copy of White Coolies, particularly as one of the wonderful women featured in it, Vivien Statham (Bullwinkel) passed away in Perth, Western Australia, this week. |
