Overview: A beautifully written and evocative memoir by acclaimed author Martin Booth! In "Gweilo" (a Cantonese term for a foreigner or 'foreign devil'), Booth recounts his unique childhood in 1950s Hong Kong as the son of a British naval officer. Allowed to roam freely through bustling street markets, rickshaw-crowded alleys, triad-controlled backstreets, and sacred temples, Booth paints a vibrant, magical portrait of a lost world. An engaging, deeply nostalgic read for lovers of history, travel literature, memoirs, and oriental culture lovers.
