"Mary was two years old when her eyes clouded over. Her grandmother's traditional cure of incense ash and mud rubbed into Mary's eyes failed. She was left blind in one eye and partially sighted in another. As a young Tanka child growing up on a fishing boat, she learned to cope with her blindness, as with poverty, hunger and casual cruelty from her family and peers. Plagued with a barrage of ailments, including a spinal infection that stole the use of her legs as a young adult, she persevered and was an indomitable spirit until the end. Full of life, laughter, compassion and determination, she had a magnetic charm that overcame an opaque gaze and shrivelled body to enchant all who knew her." "With brutal honestly and wry humour, Mary Chan Ma-lai tells the story of herself and her family against the backdrop of a brash and rising Hong Kong. A testament to her victory over her disabilities to become a teacher, writer, world traveller and vital member of society, this is an important book about Hong Kong as it seldom reveals itself by an articulate and inspiring author whose blind eyes saw deeply."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
