Audrey Donnithorne was born in Sichuan province China of British
missionary parents and is an economist and writer who has held
academic posts at University College London and at the Australian
National University, working mainly on the economy of China. In her
long life she has been a sharp-eyed observer of a changing Asia and
Western world: of China in the era of the war lords, the Guomindang
and the war against Japan, Mao and the post-Maoist resurgence; of
Britain at War and in the last days of Empire; Singapore and Malaya
soon after the War; Indonesia in the early days of independence;
and decolonisation. She observed the Cold War from several angles
and has also been an active Catholic laywoman in the Culture Wars
of the 20th century in Britain and Australia and in helping the
beleaguered Catholics in China. This is her memoir.
