Fragrant Harbor John Lanchester Books

This is a well written and very interesting story. It was recommended by a friend who had lived in Hong Kong. I knew nothing about this time period or Hong Kong, so I found it historically interesting. The only weak part was the last section, where I felt like the author was having difficulty with the ending or that another writer finished the book. Still, it's worth reading.

Fragrant Harbor John Lanchester Books Reviews

Lots of facinating content, but sometimes disconnected.
A deceptive beginning followed by an increasingly enthralling story. Accentuated by the fact that I read it while I was hiking with the most delightful man from Hong Kong. But even without that it was an enthralling read that breathed new life into what I thought was an old city.
It just didn't float my boat, I didn't warm to or care about the characters or their destiny. It was for me a sufferance 😳
I felt I was actually in Hongkong living along with the characters and going thru their trials and ttribulations along side them.any John Lanchester book is great.
On the whole, I enjoyed this book because I know Hong Kong well and his descriptions of places and events were spot on. However, as I found with the last Lanchester book I read (Capital), his female characters are a bit hollow. In this book, the former journalist Dawn didn't ring true at all. Lanchester holds the threads of a story together skillfully, but I found the ending of Fragrant Harbour a bit unsatisfactory with too many loose ends.
Almost, but not as brilliant as his "A Debt to Pleasure".
And that is the Lanchester book to read.
Lanchester has written a book elegant and poignant, about a British ex-pat who spends his life in Hong Kong. Lanchester captures the sights, sounds, and indeed, smells of the city, and takes us through the pre-war years, the war, and the boom thereafter, up to the ceding of the territory to China. It has a love story, with unexpected consequences, most beneficial to the book's hero. Wonderful book, highly recommended.
