Disappointed
I was disappointed with this fiction attempt by Agnes Keith. Sexually suggestive at times, hard to separate her own life story from this made-up heroine. Adds more insight to the Indonesian area, but not anything I wanted more details about.

Soul-Stirring Account of True Freedom in PostWW2 Philippines
"Bare Feet in the Palace" is an excellent account of the people of the Philippines during the transition time after WWII, (1948-1952), as they became a truly independent country. It describes post-war Manila as well as the other areas of the country. There is a very heart-stirring account of the first free election which had me looking for the tissue box!! It makes you want to read it to all ...

good for the neophyte
this is a good book for someone that doesn't know jack about the panthers. it touches on all the main points. i think fredericka newton puts a little too much dirty laundry out there, but then again, i didn't have to live with huey. i think she's earned the right to say whatever she damn well pleases. the main point for someone that doesn't know anything, isn't to judge the panthers, but to ...

Good, clean, very humorous book.
Land Below the Wind by Agnes Keith is the first and one of the more famous books by this very successful author. Set in 1939 North Borneo (now the Malaysian state of Sabah) it autobiographically chronicles life of an American wife of a British official. Keith relates the culture and circumstances of Sabah so well that my Sabah born and raised wife gives it two thumbs up. We have now read ...

Children of Allah
Born to an arid and denuded land, Libyans all their lives are ruled by sea and Sahara, by coming of rain or of drought, by sandstorm or flood, by harvesting of cereals, or by famine for their flocks; and now in the century of Sahara wealth, by the flowing of oil from their sands. They feast all night and fast from the dawn for one month every year, and pray toward Mecca five times daily, and ...

Great insight to the AS mind!
This is a great book. It's funny and charming and honest. I love the bluntness that Kevin exhibits (even if we're just going to attribute it to AS.) For example: S: Darling, why won't you marry me? K: Because you might have an aberration and I might want to get rid of you. If we were married I would have to give you half my stuff, and I wouldn't want to do that. Ha ha ha! Awesome.
