Description
Set in Hong Kong on the eve of the 1997 handover, this novel follows Neville “Bunt” Mullard, the sheltered son of a British textile magnate whose comfortable colonial world is beginning to unravel. As political uncertainty and cultural tensions intensify, Bunt is drawn into forces far beyond his experience, challenging his loyalties, assumptions, and privileged place in a changing society. With sharp wit and vivid detail, the story explores colonialism, identity, family power, and the uneasy collision between East and West.
