內容簡介: |
Filth Failed In London, Try Hong Kong is a successful lawyer
when he marries Elisabeth in Hong Kong soon after the War.
Reserved, immaculate and courteous, Filth finds it hard to
demonstrate his emotions. But Elisabeth is different - a free
spirit. She was brought up in the Japanese Internment Camps, which
killed both her parents, but left her with a lust for survival and
an affinity with the Far East. No wonder she is attracted to
Filth''s hated rival at the Bar - the brash, forceful Veneering.
Veneering has a Chinese wife and an adored son - and no difficulty
whatsoever in demonstrating his emotions ...How Elisabeth turns
into Betty and whether she remains loyal to stolid Filth or swept
up by caddish Veneering, make for a page-turning plot, in a perfect
novel which is full of surprises and revelations, as well as the
humour and eccentricites for which Jane Gardam''s writing is
famous.
