My Sister Meda: A Memoir of Old Singapore by Diana Saltoon describes her family growing up in Singapore within a Sephardic Jewish Community during pre-war and post-WW2. The author depicts the history of an enclave of Sephardic Jews that arrived and settled on the island, calling their community the Mahalla. This memoir revolves around the author's family, love, relationships, and particularly her sister Meda. Saltoon brings to light a Singapore that few in today's world know and the phenomenal harmony that existed between the country's diverse, multicultural population under the umbrella of colonial rule.
