About this book:
Fleeing from the busy port of Canton to avoid scandal and danger, blue dress girl She-she is caught in crossfire and rescued by Second Lieutenant Kernow Keats of the Royal Marines. Instantly moved by her fragile beauty, the young man takes She-she to Hong Kong, to the home of missionaries Hugh and Hannah Jefferies, where she can regain her strength. As she comes to know the handsome hero, the girl’s gratitude becomes love – and her feelings are returned.
But a love affair between a Chinese peasant girl and an English officer seems unthinkable in 1857. And as the Taiping rebellion gets underway, Kernow is torn from She-she’s side to do his patriotic duty. Can their great love cross the chasm of race, class and background that divides them?
