The Lost Colonial Boy

Rooted in the hills of Yorkshire and reaching across continents, The Lost Colonial Boy is a sweeping, multi-generational story of service, survival, and self-discovery. Spanning two world wars, this deeply personal narrative explores the strength of women, the weight of history, and the loves gained and lost over a lifetime. As one young boy comes of age across Britain and colonial Malaya, he inherits the complex legacies of empire, memory, and identity. Rich with real people and authentic voices, this is a moving chronicle of cross-cultural experience for fans of The Glass Palace and The Narrow Road to the Deep North.
