Set in Malaya before and after World War II, A Cloistered War is a moving coming-of-age memoir of Maisie Duncan, granddaughter of Captain Vaz, a well-known Penang identity. When Maisie’s mother passes away and her father remarries, the world that she knows—delightful times of curry tiffins, porcelain dolls, Cantonese amahs, and (not-so-delightful) castor-oil Saturdays—falls apart as all the children are sent away from the family home to CHIJ Institutions and Christian Brothers’ schools.
