Two Kiwis in Hong Kong
A beautifully illustrated book wittily written in the true kiwi spirit.
Delicately and not so delicately at times, the writer shares her voyages and forays living as an 'expat' in
Hong Kong. This 58 page coffee table book which is peppered with short stories and nostalgic poems
throughtout has proved to be a delightfully ticklish read.
A small sample of the delights inside:
Sunny or Sunday
The Dolorous Kiwi
Why say goodbye?
Signs (Watch My Lips)
The four seasons on a hill in Hong Kong
Don't step on my Blue Suede shoes
and many more...
