Hardbound. Zustand: Near fine. First Edition. Historical fictional account of a wealthy extended family in Hong Kong in the early twentieth century. The protagonist is known as "the king" within his family, due to his extraordinary wealth and power; living with him in a lavish mansion are his nine wives, as well as sisters, poor relatives, servants and muitsai (essentially indentured slaves). Each of the eight stand-alone chapters, following the first, relates the story of one of the women in this mix - the first chapter introducing 'the king' himself. The author uses this narrative framework to portray the lives of women across the socio-economic spectrum in Hong Kong during this period. While fictional, the author, who had married into a similar milieu, used her own real-life family experience as a basis of the work. Slight traces of tape residue on front and rear EPs. The volume is otherwise as new, never previously owned or read. xv, 176 pp. Size: 22 x 14 cm.…
