Publisher's Synopsis
This short story collection paints complex characters, Macau myths and magic, all set in the former Portuguese colony of Macau. Macau was one of the first European settlements in Asia (founded in 1557) and over some 450 years a unique Macanese culture developed, one that fused Europe and China to create an individual identity which, sadly, is in decline in the twenty-first century. Graeme Hall is a talented storyteller and his work has been published in English, Portuguese and Chinese.
"There is a subtlety to Graeme's writing, which is characterised by a sensitivity to the nuances of character and setting. His stories unfold in a lyrical, understated style - a literary equivalent of pointillism." Dr Rachel Connor, novelist, dramatist and Lecturer, Leeds Beckett University
