Sunset at Lion Rock (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Nobody in Eric's family talks about why photos of his Uncle Mikey are on every table, in every room. Years of silence, together with a relentless Buddhist upbringing, has Eric

convinced he is Mikey's reincarnation. But when a summer in the mountain temples of Lion Rock Hill results in a crisis of faith, Eric is confused by his feelings of betrayal. His

growing understanding of his place in Hong Kong society and the circumstances surrounding his uncle's disappearance compels him to question all that he has come to believe is true. And just like his uncle before him, as Hong Kong's pro-democracy protests escalate, Eric finds himself forced to choose between his family and himself.

Sunset at Lion Rock is a letter from a nephew to his uncle who died before he was born. It serves as a window into parts of a Eurasian child's life which his family can never know, documenting his attempt to navigate racial confusion, religious trauma, the meaning of friendship, and the struggle for self-discovery in a shifting culture on the

eve of the 1997 handover of Hong Kong to the People's Republic of China (PRC).
