`I do not like facts, and dates appal me'. Consequently, Sylvia, Lady Brooke's account of her life as the last Ranee of Sarawak is an entertaining and lively memoir of the rule of her husband Rajah Vyner Brooke, who ceded the territory to the British Crown in 1946. There is however, a realsense of being present at a time when history was being made and by capturing the fun and sadness of the last days of the Brookes' rule, Lady Brooke conveys something of the magic of Sarawak and its people.
