Forbidden love in a diverse 1930s Macau

"The Bewitching Braid explores themes of love and cultural divides in 1930s Macau. It offers a glimpse into the inner world of Eurasian inhabitants and their relationship with their Chinese and Portuguese legacies. The story is beautifully written, with vivid descriptions of Macau in the 1930s and portrays the emergence of a more liberal Macau. This book would be a great read for those interested in historical fiction, cultural diversity, and love stories."
