The lost century : a novel / Larissa Lai. by Lai, Larissa, author. Vancouver : Arsenal Pulp Press, [2022] Subjects World War, 1939-1945 -- China -- Hong Kong -- Fiction.   Hong Kong (China) -- History -- Siege, 1941 -- Fiction.   Hong Kong (China) -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781551528977 (paperback) 1551528975 (paperback) Description:  381 pages ; 23 cm Requests:  1 Summary:  "On the eve of the return of the British Crown colony of Hong Kong to China in 1997, young Ophelia asks her peculiar great-aunt Violet about the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong during World War II and the disappearance of her uncle Raymond. From Violet, she learns the story of her grandmother, Emily. Emily's marriage--three times--to her father's mortal enemy causes a stir among three very different Hong Kong Chinese families, as well as among the young cricketers at the Hong Kong Cricket Club, who've just witnessed King Edward VIII's abdication to marry Wallis Simpson. But the class and race pettiness of the scandal around Emily's marriage is violently disrupted by the Japanese Imperial Army's invasion of Hong Kong on Christmas Day, 1941, which plunges the colony into a landscape of violence none of its inhabitants escape from unscathed, least of all Emily. When her situation becomes dire, Violet, along with a crew of unlikely cosmopolitans, determines to rescue Emily from the wrath of the person she thought loved her the most, her husband, Tak-Wing. In the middle of it all, a strange match of timeless Test cricket unfolds, in which the ball has an agency all its own. With great heart, The Lost Century explores the intersections of Asian relations, queer Asian history, underground resistance, the violence of war, and the rise of modern China--a expansive novel of betrayal, epic violence, and intimate passions."-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Ewa Beach P/S Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Lai Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Lai Item being held   Add Copy to MyList Lanai P/S Library Adult Fiction Lai Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Fiction Lai Checked out 06/13/2024 Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   On Order   Add Copy to MyList
