'It's Hong Kong,' she said. 'Heung gong. Fragrant harbour.'
Fragrant Harbour is the story of four people whose intertwined
lives span Asia's last seventy years. Tom Stewart leaves England to
seek his fortune, and finds it in running Hong Kong's best hotel.
Sister Maria is a beautiful and uncompromising Chinese nun whom
Stewart meets on the boat. Dawn Stone is an English journalist who
becomes the public face of money and power and big business.
Matthew Ho is a young Chinese entrepreneur whose life has been
shaped by painful choices made long before his birth. The
complacency of colonial life in the 1930s; the horrors of the
Japanese occupation during the Second World War; the post-war boom
and the handover of the city to the Chinese - all these are present
in Fragrant Harbour, an epic novel of one of the world's great
cities.
