- Book Synopsis
- Indiscreet Memories is one Englishman's true account of life in Singapore from 1901 to 1904. We learn about balls at Government House, rickshaw strikes, and tigers causing havoc in Chinatown; and how historical events such as the death of Queen Victoria and the decision by Straits-born Chinese to discard their towchang (queues) affected the society of the day.
- About The Author
- Englishman Edwin A. Brown arrived in Singapore in 1901. His diary extracts and personal observations of his first four years there bring to life a country few would recognize today.
