...And The Rain My Drink by Han Suyin

FIRST PAPERBACK PRINTING [1960] SIGNET BOOKS 

Rare 1st mass market paperback printing.

Like new and still unread.  Some tiny surface tears over "caretakers blurb" at bottom of back cover.  otherwise excellent!

It is 1948 and the British in Malaya are struggling to put down a Communist uprising and deal with rising nationalism in the colony. Chinese girl Suyin falls in love with a British police officer and is able to see both sides of the war but she sympathizes more with the Communist guerrillas and is critical of the British colonials. A much-loved classic and an important work in the canon of Singapore literature.
