Samenvatting

FORTUNE'S BAZAAR is a story of empire, race and sex, and it offers startling insights into the ambiguous identity of Hong Kong to this day, just as its wonders may be on the verge of disappearing forever.

'As a history of Hong Kong, not just as a British colony, or an exotic Chinese enclave, but as a cosmopolitan city of many creeds and races, Asian and European, Vaudine England's book is unsurpassed. Her take on the so-called Eurasians, who have played such a large part in Hong Kong's history, is fresh and essential to a better understanding of this unique place' Ian Buruma

'At last: a lively and carefully researched page turner about the individuals and social forces that have made Hong Kong the dynamic (and quirky) place it is' Adi Ignatius, former Wall Street Journal Bureau Chief in Beijing

'Vivid, atmospheric, packed with brilliant story-telling, Vaudine England brings to life the boiling pot of race, culture and ambition that made Hong Kong one of the world's great cities. Within its compelling read, Fortune's Bazaar boldly explodes the myth that Hong Kong is 'just another Chinese city' Humphrey Hawksley, former BBC Beijing, Hong Kong and Asia Correspondent

'If you love Hong Kong and have lost her, as have I, Vaudine England's marvellous account of the "in-between people," who made it the remarkable place it was, will fill you with wonder, understanding and a sadness for a place - and an idea - that no longer exists' Richard Hornik, former TIME bureau chief in Beijing and Hong Kong
