The Locust Hunter
Po-Wah Lam (About this author)
A stunning debut, philosophical, heartwarming and ultimately beautiful.
Set in the humid and turbulent landscape of 1970s Hong Kong, this coming-of-age tale follows the journey of Sundabec and his five friends as they try to avenge the killing of his 200-year-old pet tortoise, Lord Baltimore. Their village is caught between British ideals and the teachings of Tao and Chinese customs. A touch of Bruce Lee, combined with ancient philosophy of the Orient, and an unlikely love story makes 'The Locust Hunter' a mystical and gripping read.
