Amber Fan, a young Oxford-educated chef, opens the first Chinese fusion joint in London's Chinatown following the failure of her father's traditional restaurant. When her parents decide to return to Hong Kong, taking with them their young son Bobby as well as the haunting secret surrounding his birth, Amber is left alone in London. set in the aftermath of Hong Kong's return to Chinese rule, Goodbye Chinatown shows a family torn between two countries. Amber throws herself into her career to escape the painful cycle of family separations and reunions. The tastes and smells spark off every page in Kit Fan's latest novel, making for a truly multisensorial reading experience. Offering a behind-the-scenes of this suburb of London's hospitality economy, and using food to reflect on identity, Goodbye Chinatown paints a portrait of an enterprising emigre who, faced with divided loyalties, invents her own language for home through the culinary arts.
