This is your golden opportunity to swoon over Joe Harmon and laugh hysterically at Jean’s sarong problems. Jean thinks that Joe died in Malaysia and when she learns that he’s alive she goes to Australia to meet him and to see if they might be a true romance. While in Malaysia, Jean met an Australian soldier, Joe Harmon, and they fell in love, or at least in serious flirt. She tells her solicitor why she wants to do this, and this flashback story of her life as a prisoner of war forms the first part of the book.
After some thought, she decides to use some of this money to build a well in a village in Malaysia. Jean Paget, a young woman living in England after WWII, is left a great deal of money by a distant relative.
