River Crossing With Night Herons: Stories from Macau - Paperback

by Graeme Keith Hall (Author)

A young couple escaping from China cross a river at night. A man can see into the future and wishes he couldn't. A young woman sacrifices her body to help her mother. A raven-haired woman in a red dress saves a fishing boat that is in trouble. A woman's life is told through the teas she drinks. Unexpected family connections are made, and a political activist seeks sanctuary and finds love.

Mixing history and realism with myth and magic, the stories in River Crossing with Night Herons show the unique history and people of the oldest European settlement in Asia. Macau.
