Fated and Fateless

Book Description:

This is a tale of love, corruption and greed set in a past era in colonial Hong Kong, spanning four decades from the late 1940s – a period marked by patriarchal bigotry, gender discrimination and Western ideals beginning to clash with Chinese conservatism.

Wendy, the self-made corporate executive, has strong faith in free will and conscientious choices, but has a hard time living up to her principles. Diana, the spoiled and selfish daughter of a property tycoon, prefers to find refuge in superstition and self-delusion. Their lives cross each other in fiery episodes.

Prior to October 1987, Wendy has her fill of bad experiences in her childhood and youth until she meets Tony, a Macanese magnate, and becomes his protégé. Despite her ascending career, her romance with Edward, her childhood playmate and Diana’s kid brother, suffers constant sabotage by Diana, who is also Wendy's archrival by design. Meanwhile, Diana breezes through life and covets the throne of her father’s property empire, but her heiress dream proves elusive. She and the love of her life get involved in a fraud deal involving corrupt police money, which turns out to be her cruelest life lesson.

In October 1987 (when world stock markets crashed on Black Monday), Wendy and Diana finally come to a face-off which ultimately leads to a shocking epiphany for both characters.
