À propos de cet audio
Based on a true story, a tale of love and survival against all the odds set in Hong Kong at the start of the Pacific War.
Can love conquer all?
Spring 1939 - Dashing young William Burton and the beautiful Constance Han set sail from London on the same ocean liner to Hong Kong.
Connie is intrigued by Will’s talent for writing poetry, and as romance blossoms she offers to give him Cantonese lessons to help him with his new job — a cadet in the colonial service.
But once in Hong Kong, Connie is constrained by filial duty towards her Eurasian parents, and their wish for her to marry someone from her own background.
When war breaks out, Connie and Will find themselves drawn into a wider conflict than their battle against prejudice. Can they survive and achieve a future together? Or will forces beyond their control keep them forever apart?
A sweeping tale of love and perseverance, perfect for fans of Dinah Jefferies, Fiona Valpy and Ann Bennett
