Hello, I live in Texas, so if that helps narrow this down... I read a part of a book or short story several years ago that had a vivid scene about a teen/preteen at some kind of boarding school or communal living space who was sneaking out (or perhaps just venturing out) at night and the author described the light through the windows and a field. I think the time period may have been during a World War or sometime in the 1950s/60s or beyond, but I'm pretty sure it was not before the 50s. The house/building that was described was simple and tan colored, I think. I really loved the descriptive language. I think palm trees were mentioned or some other indicator that the setting was tropical, maybe Hawaii or a Southeast Asian country, maybe an island? It may have been non-fiction, because the author I believe was of the same ancestry as the main character.
If it rings any bells, please let me know! Thank you so much!
