Description
The city is Macao, the Portuguese settlement on the China Coast, as it was more than 200 years ago. This moving novel that captures the time and place so convincingly is a historical reconstruction of the years 1780 to 1795 and the lives of Martha Merop and her English lover are unique in this period.
