First published in 1988, "Hong Kong" is a portrait of the British Empire's last, most anachronistic outpost, as the countdown to the handover gathers momentum. Written with her trademark elegance and panache, Morris depicts a city tragically suspended between a colonial past and the uncertainties of China's future. 'It is difficult to think of anyone who could recount this tale with such authority, elegance and sensitivity as Jan Morris ...Here, she portrays what has always been Britain's most adjective-defying colony ...Morris so clearly likes the place, but she is not sentimental, nor is she blind to Hong Kong's flaws; she is aware of rootlessness in the teeming energy' - "TLS". 'The book captures the contradictions and mad terror of Hong Kong better than could a novel - it's a dramatic documentary ...' - "Evening Standard". 'The definitive study' - "Washington Post".
