An interesting read but bear in mind it’s a contemporary diary and from someone of a middle class colonial background (Philip is a doctor). The language and comments about class are reminiscent of that era.

A, frankly, considerably better read is:

Having said that, I would still suggest read Dear Philip afterwards for contrast.
