The year of the woman

KwayFay was once a 'Cockroach Child', a homeless scavenger on Hong Kong's waterfronts. Now, she lives in a shack and commutes to her job as an office clerk. Her only ally is Grandmother's Ghost. Hong Kong is in a ferment, for this is the time just before the Handover, when the People's Republic of China will repossess the Crown Colony. Hongs and Triads, underworld organisations above the law, are concerned, for China's policy is to eliminate criminal cliques. The head of a Triad learns of the girl who talks to ghosts - she might be the last chance for his Triad's survival.

  • "An expose of Triad culture in pre-British Hong Kong. A triad concerned by China's elimination policy towards criminal organisations may have only one hope left - a young homeless girl who talks to ghosts."
