London: Hutchinson. Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket. 1987. First Edition. Hardcover. 0091680905 . Boards and DJ show light shelf wear. ; A bright, solid book, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped. ; 8.27 X 5.12 X 1.57 inches; 466 pages; "Sean Mulrenan is an Anglo-Irish piano player and adventurer in Hong Kong. His mistress is Alice Soon, half-Chinese, ex-prostitute. It is 1937, and war is about to upset the complex rituals of the colonials. Sean becomes rich in the black market and flees to India. Alice retreats to neutral Macao and waits out the war. Although events intrude on both, Booth is concerned with the factors by which they measure themselves. Alice uses adversity to become strong; Sean's Anglophobia and self-hatred eventually bring about his spectacular fall. This vivid picture of social expectations and self-realization should be an essential purchase for its penetrating visions of Europeans and Chinese." (Lib. Journal) .

Sobre Ainsworth Books
Ainsworth Books was for many years a bricks and mortar store in Vancouver, BC. When we acquired the store, we moved to a location in Delta. After three years we moved the stock home and started operation as an online, by appointment only operation. I have worked with books my whole adult life and enjoy giving recommendations.
