Product Description

Review
"'Distinctive...A positive tonic and a richly enjoyable read' Literary Review"

Product Description
KwayFay lives alone in a squatter shack on the mountain slopes of Hong Kong, and commutes each day to her job as a lowly office clerk. She survives by paying bribes, if she has to, and keeping silent when abused. Her only ally is Grandmother's Ghost. On the brink of the Hand Over with China, the Hongs and Triads - underworld organisations above the law - are concerned, since China's policy is to eliminate criminal cliques. When the head of a Triad learns of the impoverished 'no-family' girl who talks to ghosts, he wonders if she is a way out of his dilemma...

5.0 out of 5 stars Rich and strange ghost story, 4 Mar 2009
By D. J Pigott "Pigott" (Perth, Western Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an odd-one-out for the inventor of Lovejoy and Dr Clare. Far from formulaic, it is rests in the understanding that every religious and superstitious belief of the poor inhabitants of Hong Kong is true, and so you follow the first persons of memorable characters such as the gang lord, the rich spendthrift wife, the incompetent trader as well as the innocent heroine, the woman of the story. A wonderful strange and poetic read, well worth it.
