The story of a lost heir to the earldom of a rich family, Jacob and his family traveled to China when he was a boy and they never returned. On the day of Evelyn's wedding to Christopher, her bethrothed after her bethrothed Jacob was assumed dead with his parents, Jacob interrupts the ceremony, calling himself Jie Kie, and claims his rights to the title and Evelyn. Wanting to only return to China and be a monk, Jacob must prove to Zhi Min that he has tasted his true english life and hate it. Falling in love with Evelyn, the two do return to China yet Jacob no longer desire to be a monk but rather a husband.
As a whole this novel was amazing to the point that my only critism came at the last few pages of the novel. In my opinion, I felt the end of the book seemed a bit rushed and hurried. Lee seemed to cram the book together at the end of the book and the booked seemed to just die. Despite this the characters were strong, there were very interesting plot points, and many comical moments in the novel. Over all, not a bad read.
