Life Under a Mango Tree

Lily Forbes , Author | Umapagan Ampikaipakan, Literary reviewer

Life Under a Mango Tree

"My conscious life sprang into being amid belching smoke, sticky bodies and ethnic diversity. Considering where my future was to take me, it seems quite a coincidence that my

earliest memories involve travel - and an Englishman.”

That is how Lily Forbes begins her exploration into her own past. She tells what it was like living in pre-independence Malaya, about what it was like being the middle child of a large family, and what it was like “Growing Up Under the Mango Tree."
