Filled with the narrator's fond reminiscences of expat life in pre-handover Hong Kong, these memoirs work and play in the beauty and commercialism of the colony which is suddenly flooded by darker memories of tragedy and loss.

Memories of expat life in pre-handover Hong Kong. Lyrical, wry, amusing, deceptively gentle, Simon Barnes's second novel packs a powerful punch after it has crept up on the reader with the narrator's fond reminiscences of expat life in pre-handover Hong Kong. The hazy and often hilarious memories of work and play in the heartstopping beauty and pulse-racing commercialism of the colony is suddenly flooded by darker memories of tragedy and loss, although Barnes, the most optimistic and delightful of authors, pulls the reader through to a warmly satisfying conclusion.

Simon Barnes is an award-winning sports journalist (The Times, Spectator) and author of Rogue Lion Safaris and Horsesweat and Tears, as well as several books on wildlife and conservation. He lives in Hertfordshire.
