Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. In 1956, a decision made in haste, sees Anthony Box arrived on Bayan estate, a few miles from the sleepy town of Teluk Anson in Malaya. He discovers what life entails working on a rubber estate. The way he describes each and every experience makes you feel as though you are there with him. On his journey to meet his boss, he is forced to endure Edmund's company; a man who incessantly talks of himself and his sexual conquests. Fortunately, Edmund was a one-off encounter, but there were a few others whom Anthony was to meet with some dislikeable traits. As an assistant, his day is long and menial, and Anthony realises his trip to Malaya is a big mistake. However, a few friends who share common interests: cinema, books, radio shows, and a sense of fun, makes life feel a little better. What else does he get up to to spice things up?
The author has an extensive experience of life in the Far East including a year on Kirimati, sometime Christmas Island with HM Forces on Operation Grap-ple, Malaya, Singapore, Belgium and Germany. A love of books saw him become a librarian and having written four treatise on subjects as varied as film studies, the upheaval of life on Strawberry Terrace and the appreciation of the Film Blade Runner.
