At Least We Lived: The Unlikely Adventures of an English Couple in World War II China

An interesting new book is now out – At Least We Lived (book’s website here with some old photos of China too) by Emma Oxford….details below

At Least We Lived  is the remarkable story of Max and Audrey Oxford, a British couple who met and married in China at the height of the Second World War. Their tales — including Max’s Christmas Day escape from Hong Kong under fire from the Japanese, and the eight-week journey Audrey embarked on alone that would take her thousands of miles from her family — are reminders of a time and place far removed from the technologies and speed of modern life.  Written by their daughter Emma, the book expertly weaves together Max and Audrey’s personal stories with the history of China and how World War II shaped the region and those in it.
