I enjoyed After Darkness by Christine Piper which is the story of a Japanese doctor stationed in Broome who is interned following Japan's entry into World War II. The story is narrated by the character, Dr Ibaraki, who is interned in the South Australian camp. He tells his story in a series of flashbacks to his time as a doctor in Japan where he was engaged in "research". He then took a job at a hospital in Broome where there is a small Japanese population attracted by the pearl diving season. In the internment camp Ibaraki does some work as a doctor and is trying to balance conflicting loyalties. 4/5Tuesday, August 18, 2015
