This book gives a vivid description of Hong Kong as it was under Japanese rule during the Second World War. Some of the details of the horrific treatment meted out to the inhabitants of the island do not make for pleasant reading but certainly bring to life what it would have been like to live there at that time. I found the love story a bit predictable but apart from that enjoyed Brill’s first novel.
