Three loosely intertwined stories that take place in Hong Kong during and after World War II, this book gives a glimpse of what life is like in that teeming city.

Sent out as part of a first sentence Virtual Book Box.

This is a book a probably wouldn't have picked up on my own - but it looks like an interesting read. (At least I enjoyed Hongkong on a short trip a couple of years ago.)

So thanks! I really think this is the fun of this VBB.

The book covers a long history of Hong Kong under the British, from before WWII up to the end of the colony. The characters wind through the whole book and nicely patch the areas together. Result is a great story of life, business and crime in Hong Kong.

Enjoyed this book!

Happy travels - off to Janeka!

Lately I've been really interested about Asian historical fiction, so this really comes in handy :)

Thank you so much for your kindness, weiterferne!
