At midnight on 30 June 1997, Hong Kong reverted to Chinese
sovereignty after 150 years of British rule. The moment when the
British flag came down was dramatic enough but the ten years
leading up to it were full of surprising incident and change. These
'Letters from Hong Kong', written by an Englishwoman who was
involved in those events from 1987, are both an unusual historical
record and a heartwarming account of women's domestic, intellectual
and political activity. This epilogue brings Hong Kong up to date
ten years after the Handover.
