Lambda Literary Award winner Larissa Lai (The Tiger Flu) returns
with a sprawling historical novel about war, colonialism and queer experience during
Japan's occupation of Hong Kong during World War II. On the eve of the return of the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong to
China in 1997, young Tobie asks her peculiar great-aunt Violet about the
Japanese occupation of Hong Kong during World War II and the disappearance of
her uncle Theo. From Violet, she learns the story of her grandmother, Emily. Emily's marriage--three times--to her father's mortal enemy causes a stir
among three very different Hong Kong Chinese families, as well as among the young
cricketers at the Hong Kong Cricket Club, who've just witnessed King Edward
VIII's abdication to marry Wallis Simpson. But the class and race pettiness of
the scandal around Emily's marriage is violently disrupted by the Japanese
Imperial Army's invasion of Hong Kong on Christmas Day, 1941, which plunges the
colony into a landscape of violence none of its inhabitants escape from unscathed,
least of all Emily. When her situation becomes dire, Violet, along with a crew
of unlikely cosmopolitans determines to rescue Emily from the wrath of the
person she thought loved her the most, her husband Tak-Wing. In the middle of
it all, a strange match of timeless Test cricket unfolds, in which the ball has
an agency all its own. With great heart, The Lost Century explores the intersections of Asian
relations, queer Asian history, underground resistance, the violence of war, and
the rise of modern China― a sprawling novel of betrayal, epic violence and
intimate passions.
