The Philippines at the turn of the century, seen from a household rather than a headquarters. Enid Dauncey writes the islands as she found them: the climate, the markets, the neighbours, the long slow afternoons, and the peculiar position of a woman set down in the middle of colonial life with no particular authority and a great deal of time to look.
