In 1934 she married Harry Keith, a British Empire administrator (Conservator of Forests and Director of Agriculture) and went to live with him in north Borneo. This account of her experiences, covering five years to 1939, is a rich and at times lyrical portrait of her life and the interesting indigenous people she met. Her love of place shines through, despite the hardships - particularly when travelling up country with her husband.
