For weeks they went all over London on the little red Honda, weaving up hills at walking speed, down alleys and pavements, through shopping precincts, warm in the late-summer nights … and he’d park outside pubs, proud of his China girl …
For Tom it was a wonderful summer. Innocent, broke and slightly awestruck on his arrival in London, he was working as a delivery boy at a Chinese takeaway. Then May, the daughter of the owner, became his love.
But suddenly, inexplicably, Tom loses his home, his job and his beloved.
A squat, then a battered green van, become his refuge, his longing for May his one obsession. As Tom travels through the desperate sub cultures of low-life London, he is also caught up in his dreams about China, each more vivid and shocking than the last.
China Dreams is dazzling, disturbing, lyrical and occasionally fearsome - a stunning literary achievement.
