Dear friends,

As some of you may have heard, my novel, Love in the Shadow of Mao has been published on 3rd March. It is a love story set in Hong Kong and China during the Cultural Revolution. It is available from Amazon in print and ebook. I started to write this book in the year I founded Kellett School. It’s taken me more than forty years to finish it. Fortunately Kellett grew at a faster rate. 

I’d be much obliged if anyone going back to HK to visit family and friends would drop me a line and let me know if the book is available there.

Best wishes,

Joanne Elliott
