Beginning in Shanghai in the 1920s, it follows the career of a Norwegian diplomat and his three growing daughters, each by a mother of different nationality, and of a host of other characters - Chinese, Japanese, French, White Russian, American - with whom their lives become entwined. In turn they are involved in love-affairs that somehow hinge on the intrigues building up with increasing intensity as the Japanese expand in south-east Asia. Each survives in her own way into a changed post-war world. When each has ostensibly changed everything, a chance encounter spotlights dramatically the unchanging differences between East and West which can still cause misunderstanding and disaster. ---***Mrs. Ekert-Rotholz's story of the complex and subtly changing relationships within families and within the family of nations is unfolded with great skill and insight, and depicts with first-hand knowledge the Far East during some of its most momentous years. ***Alice Ekert-Rotholz was born in Hamburg, the daughter of a British-Slavik father and a German mother. In 1939 Mrs. Ekert-Rotholz and her husband went to Bangkok, where Dr. Rotholz practised in the British dispensary for twelve years. This sojourn gave her the unique opportunity of becoming personally acquainted with the cultural traditions of the numerous Asiatic groups living in the city. The Rotholzes were active leaders of many civic enterprises, including a theatre group, a Catholic Action and Study Group, and a lecture series sponsored by the American Embassy. In 1952 they returned to Hamburg, where they now live. This is her first novel to be published in English.' (Quote from inside front and rear of dustwrapper blurb). *** Alice Ekert-Rotholz (born in 1900 in Hamburg to a British father and a German mother. From 1939 ¿ 1952 she lived in Bangkok with her husband and travelled Asia, Australia and the Caribbean Islands at various times. In 1952 she returned to Hamburg and worked for the press and radio. Her first novel "Rice in Silver Bowls" (Reis in Silberschalen), which was published in 1954, was a world-wide success. After the death of her husband, she moved to London in 1959. She died in 1995 in London and is buried in Highgate East cemetery. ***First impression of the true first edition - very hard to find in its attractive 'water-colour' illustrated original dustwrapper in such nice bright collectable condition. Of interest to collectors of 'complex' historical fiction and first edition titles by Alice Ekert-Rothholz which are all hard to find now.
