Description
In 1987, Hong Kong was a city of glamour and excess. A film studio stood proudly in the heart of the city, while redbrick houses beckoned to the stars. But behind the scenes, a different story unfolded. Buddha returns to his birthplace, seeking solace in a small Buddhist nunnery on Diamond Hill. As he cares for the nuns and their neighbours, this pocket of old Hong Kong is rapidly disappearing. A faded film actress, Audrey Hepburn, hides a deep secret in the nearby shanty town, while landslides threaten the nunnery she fights to protect. A beautifully written and compelling novel, Diamond Hill captures the essence of a lost place, filled with unforgettable characters.
