The Year of the Woman [Libby]. Allison & Busby, 2013. Format: OverDrive Adobe EPUB eBook, Filesize: 327kB. Format: OverDrive Kindle Book. Format: OverDrive OverDrive Read. Fiction. Mystery. KwayFay was once a 'Cockraoch Child', a homeless scavenger on Hong Kong's waterfronts. Now she lives in a squatter shack on the mountain slopes, and commutes daily to her job as a lowly office clerk. She survives by paying bribes if she has to, and keeping silent when abused. Her only ally is Grandmother's Ghost. There is a tense, pregnant feel to Hong Kong, 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 that are above the law - are concerned, since China's policy is to eliminate criminal cliques. The head of a Triad learns of the impoverished 'no-family' girl who talks to ghosts, and wonders if she could hold the answer to the questions of an uncertain future. Except that superstition is also forbidden by the incoming regime: the girl might be the last chance for his Triad's survival - but believing in her might prove to be its destruction.
