"This enchanting autobiography by the last Ranee of Sarawak is graced by wit, style, tough-minded candour and a glowing, affectionate spirit that should move and delight readers. Sylvia Brooke's narrative spans 80 years, and is a unique personal history enriched by vivid anecdotes too marvellous to have been contrived. The exotic heart of her memoirs is her story of her marriage to Vyner Brooke, last of a long tyrannical line of White Rajahs of Sarawak, and her long years as his consort among (XX)Â people in a land she instantly recognised as "home". Of her womanizing husband, who had girls until he was 87,she says with abiding affection, "you have to admire a man like that".
