Despite the title (which I think actually refers to the changes in Hong Kong at the time in which the story is set) this is a quiet novel about relationships. The MC is a young Irish woman who teaches English in Hong Kong and gets involved in two relationships. I really loved how deadpan the humor was as we follow her life. It definitely fits in the Sally Rooney style of modern Irish novels. I don‘t think it works for every reader but I loved it.
