The Song of Silver Frond

"One morning in Singapore more than fifty years ago, The Venerable One - a wealthy, respected, handsome Chinese patriarch, head of a large household of three wives and many children and grandchildren - takes a walk by a cemetery. There, a young village egg-seller, Silver Frond, is amusing herself with a comic song-and-dance act based on popular gossip - about him. The meeting instantly changes their lives."--BOOK JACKET.

המשפט הראשון: In the months following the end of the war and the devastation left by the hated Japanese, the people in the little village of Sim Bak, instead of starting on the massive work of repair and rebuilding, began to interest themselves in a sordid little family quarrel.
