Description

Hong Kong's Fragrant Harbour is a sweeping epic that spans Asia's last seventy years. Against the backdrop of colonial life, war, and post-war boom, four lives intertwine in complex and poignant ways. Tom Stewart finds his fortune in Hong Kong's best hotel, while Sister Maria, a beautiful and uncompromising Chinese nun, navigates her own path. Meanwhile, Dawn Stone becomes the public face of money and power, and Matthew Ho grapples with the painful choices that shaped his life before birth. This novel masterfully weaves together the threads of four lives, set against the rich tapestry of Hong Kong's history, to create a powerful and moving story of love, loss, and transformation.
