Return to Hong Kong

This book is fictional. It is written from the creative imagination of the author whose years living and working in Hong Kong gave her the ideas for the characters and plot of this novel. There were three women in Dan Goldwell's life: his ailing wife Hetty; Loretta his one true love; and the woman he could not resist - passionate sensual Lisa for whom he threw everything away. There were two men in Lisa Cheung's life: Dan the man she manipulated into marriage; and Jonas the man she could not have but could not live without. In Loretta Burgess' life there was only one man: Dan the father of her only child and the man who betrayed her. The story takes the reader from Hong Kong to San Francisco and then on to the county of Wiltshire in the south of England. However the story's setting is mainly in the former British Crown Colony of Hong Kong during the turbulent years of the '60's and '70's.
