I'll be really interested to know what others made of this book. I found it quite hard to get into; none of the main characters were very likeable and I kept feeling I was missing something, perhaps because I don't know enough of the historical background of Shanghai. Christopher was an irritating person as he always seemed to have different interpretations of situations and himself to others, although this may have been a deliberate device to accentuate his isolated state.
Have to go put roast in oven. Back later.
