This was our April Book club pick. 

It's a historical fiction about a man who travels to Hong Kong. I wouldn't say that I enjoyed reading this one and would have put it down after a few chapters. The only reason I didn't was that it was for my book club. But after I while it did pick up a bit. I liked learning about Hong Kong and what went on there as most of this is based on true events. 

Ok read. 3/5 stars
