Paper Tigress

Rachel Cartland came to Hong Kong in 1972 as one of just two female expatriates in the colonial government’s elite administrative grade. Her career was shaped by the momentous events that rocked Hong Kong during the following 34 years: corruption and the police mutiny, currency crisis, Tiananmen Square, the change of sovereignty and the devastation of SARS. This accessible memoir ranges from Government House to the infamous Walled City to the rural New Territories.
