Simon Koo is an ambitious Australian-born Chinese who goes to Singapore in the mid-sixties to work for Samuel Oswald Wing, an advertising agency. But the Wing brothers, who run the agency, are not what they seem. There is soon trouble when Simon falls in love with the forbidden Mercy B. Lord, the illegitimate daughter of a Japanese officer and a Chinese mother who abandoned her on the doorstep of a Catholic orphanage.

Isnt Bryce Courtenay a wonderful person. I think I'll buy this book on the sony e reader thing. I read some of his other books and, boy he can really write a good tale. I wish everybody loved this guy, because his books really are top quality. And what he says in this interview is true, we are polyglot and love is everything. His books are very very enjoyable, if you try one you'll never go back. Thanks for this video.
