Walked all the way to the bookstore and didn‘t buy anything. But it was good exercise (#bfcr2) and I found another #streetread.

LauraJ @wanderinglynn Thanks! I‘ve had a cold for the past week, but it‘s still been good to have the encouragement to get some gentle exercise done. 5y

kamoorephoto @LauraJ That one too! We lived in Hong Kong at the time so it was a popular one... 5y

I ended up loving this despite struggles with the pidgin English & lengthy battle scenes. The characters were engaging in so many ways. Best of all was the insight into the genius of recognizing Hong Kong's potential as a commercial powerhouse. Britain in its heyday before the decline of the Empire. If you like adventure, intrigue and history give this a try.
