2000s: One small island, six troubled lives, and the storm of the century is on its way.
In one of the world’s most vibrant international cities, present day Hong Kong, the lives of six people become irreversibly intertwined. The past is catching up with those running from it, while the futures of others hangs dangerously in the balance. But who knows the most? And what will they do to keep it that way?
Hong Kong is “ticking along nicely- the way it always had-(which) was vital to his business”.
Hong Kong is a city within a city as well as many cities within many cities. It’s a hot and heavy engine powering the country and the world. Six people in the novel live here and they are brought together in unexpected ways.
The city has two sides; rich and poor. There is nothing in-between. HK is powerhouse of money, influence and danger, a contradiction of history and geography.
Some of the characters here have been brought up on the island, others have arrived relatively recently
