White Man Returns

This book relates how, after the release from captivity of Agnes Keith, her husband and her young son during the Japanese war in Borneo, they returned to the shattered British colony in North Borneo. She writes as a woman, as a wife and a mother, and her book is purely a personal experience story, related with a fine flair for detail and her keen sense of humour. White Man Returns is a sympathetic and sensitive story of the relationships between a devoted white family and the Chinese, the Indians, the Muruts and the Eurasians whom the Keiths in so many ways have tried to help. But above all, it is a record of the author's own growth in understanding and love for her fellow human beings the world over.
