Description

A country in turmoil

A woman caught between two worlds


Jamaica, 1935. Fay Wong’s father is a wealthy Chinese immigrant; her African heritage mother grew up on a plantation and now reigns over their family mansion.

But the Chinatown haunts where her father spends his time are out of bounds to Fay, and the airy rooms of the mansion are filled with her mother’s long kept secrets. As she tries to escape the restraints of her privileged upbringing, striving for independence in a homeland that is trying to do the same, Fay’s eyes are opened to a Jamaica she was never meant to see. And when her mother decides that she must marry the racketeer Yang Pao, she finds herself on a journey that will lead to sacrifice and profound betrayals.
