Last Chance - Very Worn

From Agnes Newton Keith comes a vivid and deeply personal memoir about life in colonial Southeast Asia before World War II.

Set in North Borneo, the book chronicles Agnes’s life with her husband Harry, a British colonial officer, as they build a home and family in a land rich with natural beauty, cultural diversity, and political complexity.

Through her observations, she captures everyday life in Borneo—from local communities and traditions to the realities of colonial society.

But beneath the beauty lies growing uncertainty.

As global tensions rise and war looms closer, the peaceful life they’ve built becomes increasingly fragile.

Warm, reflective, and historically fascinating, Land Below the Wind offers a personal glimpse into a world on the brink of dramatic change.
