Rcit dune enfance hongkongaise (1952-1955)

Libre comme lair et protg par sa chevelure blonde gage de bonne fortune pour les Chinois , Martin, jeune Anglais avide de dcouvertes, explore Hong Kong et se voit ouvrir des portes normalement fermes aux Gweilos , ces ples individus qui rgnent en matres sur la Colonie.
Bien crit, drle et plein de vie, Gweilo se situe la frontire entre littrature et document historique. Beaucoup plus quune simple autobiographie, ce rcit est aussi une magnifique ouverture au monde.

Evocative, funny and full of life, this is a beautifully observed childhood memoir of growing up in colonial Hong Kong in the 1950s.

Shadowed by the unhappiness of his warring parents, a broad-minded mother who, like her son, was keen to embrace all things Chinese, and a bigoted father who was enraged by his familys interest in going native, Martin Booths compelling memoir is a journey into Chinese culture and an extinct colonial way of life that glows with infectious curiosity and humour.
