Last Year in Hong Kong: A Love Story - Hardcover

Lucretia Barnes isn't looking for love. Recently divorced, she wants nothing more than to retreat from the intense and superficial millionaires of Hong Kong, but a chance meeting with the handsome Dorje Rabnet changes all that. From the moment they meet, the overpowering attraction between them is clear. Dorje, known as "Robbie" to his friends, is an Anglo-Tibetan engineer who shows Lucretia a part of Hong Kong she never knew existed: the vibrant, living city of fishmongers, street-sweepers, merchants, and monks who represent the true Hong Kong. As her appreciation for the city deepens, she finds the walls around her crumbling, replaced by a deep love for Robbie.

The city of Hong Kong dominates every line of this book. Robert Elegant, who served as an East Asian correspondent for Newsweek, knows the city inside and out and vividly brings it to life in Last Year in Hong Kong.

A heartbreaking story from the best-selling author of Dynasty acclaimed as the best novel written about Hong Kong in the last half century.
