Description

Fay Wong's life is a complex web of privilege and oppression. Her father's rise to wealth from nothing has created a gulf between his Chinatown haunts and their opulent home in Lady Musgrave Road, where her mother reigns with uncontrollable rages. As Fay grows into a headstrong woman, she rebels against the restraints of her upbringing, only to have her eyes opened to a Jamaica she never knew existed. Her mother's decision that she must marry the racketeer Yang Pao sets Fay on a journey that will lead to sacrifice and betrayal. This powerful story explores themes of revolution, love, and identity, set against the backdrop of Jamaica's complex cultural heritage.
