CNA938 Rewind - A Hidden WW2 Past - "The Singapore Secret" by Clare Willis
In ‘Culture Club’, Melanie Oliveiro speaks with Clare Willis, a Singapore-based primary school teacher and author of "The Singapore Secret". Originally from the UK, Willis will talk about what inspired her novel, which is set between two periods – 1942 and 2019 – World War II-era Singapore and modern-day England. It’s about Annabel, a history professor who discovers her late grandma Dotty’s letters, photographs and documents about her secret past life in colonial Singapore on the brink of the Japanese invasion.
