Penelope shared her thoughts on Mr Polly’s Bonfire Party and wrote: 

“A charming book giving an insight into Hong Kong’s academic and political worlds in the 50s. An easy read with compelling characters.” 

Reading Penelope’s review is truly appreciated. It is wonderful to know that the portrayal of 1950s Hong Kong and its academic and political landscape felt both engaging and insightful. I’m especially grateful that the characters and the ease of the storytelling made the book such an enjoyable experience.
