- Description or summary of the audiobook: At seven years old, Martin Booth found himself with all of Hong Kong at his feet when his father was posted there in 1952. This is his memoir of that youth, a time when he had access to corners of the colony normally closed to a gweilo, a 'pale fellow' like him. From the plink plonk man with his dancing monkey to Nagasaki Jim, and from a drunken child molester to the Queen of Kowloon (the crazed tramp who may have been a Romanov), Martin saw it all-but his memoir illustrates a deeper challenge in his warring parents. This is an intimate and powerful memory of a place and time now past.
