Filth (Failed In London Try Hong Kong) is a succesful lawyer when he marries Elisabeth in Hong Kong soon after the War. Reserved, immaculate and courteous, Filth finds it hard to demonstrate his emotions. But Elisabeth is different - a free spirit. She was brought up in the Japanese Camps, which killed both her parents, but left her with a lust for survival and an affinity with the Far East. No wonder she is attracted to the force of personality of Filth's hated rival at the Bar - the brash Veneering. Veneering has a Chinese wife and an adored son - and no difficulty whatsoever in demonstrating his emotions .... How Elisabeth turns into Betty, and whether she remains loyal to stolid Filth or swept up by caddish Veneering, make for a page-turning plot, in a novel which is full of surprises and the eccentricities for which Jane Gardam's writing is famous.
