Dynasty

More about the book

Founded by Sir Jonathan, the brilliant and ambitious illegitimate son of a Chinese woman and an Irish adventurer, the Sekloong dynasty builds an economic empire over three generations, exerting its influence from Hong Kong to the Pentagon, and spanning from nationalist to communist China. This dense, rich, complex, and captivating saga of a powerful Eurasian family is marked by a strong sense of clan loyalty, yet divided by infidelities, deaths, power struggles, and ideological conflicts. The backdrop of this family drama is the history of China from 1900 to the Cultural Revolution.
