Beschreibung

In "Under the Dragon Flag," James Allan presents a poignant narrative that intricately weaves the themes of cultural identity, colonialism, and the quest for belonging. Set against the backdrop of late 19th-century Asia, the book employs a rich, descriptive literary style that captures both the beauty and turmoil of a world in transition. Allan's deft use of symbolism and metaphor illuminates the characters' struggles, reflecting the broader socio-political issues of the era, while also providing insight into the complexities of human relationships and the influence of imperialism. James Allan, an astute observer of cultural dynamics, draws inspiration from his academic background in history and sociology, which uniquely informs his storytelling. His travels through Asia further enriched his understanding of the region's diverse cultures and historical contexts, allowing him to craft a narrative that transcends mere entertainment. Allan's dedication to portraying nuanced characters is reflective of his desire to foster empathy and understanding among disparate cultures. Readers seeking a compelling exploration of cultural intersections and the human experience will find "Under the Dragon Flag" an essential addition to their literary collection. Allan's eloquent prose and richly developed plot invite readers to engage with a multilayered narrative that resonates deeply in today's global landscape.

    1908, Long Island: For Millie Turner, the young and beautiful wife of a powerful New York stockbroker, Rose Briar Hall—a gleaming edifice of white marble on the North Shore—is more than a home. Every lavish detail speaks of Charles Turner’s status and wealth, and its stylish interior is testament to Millie's sophistication. All that’s left is to prove her worthiness to be his bride. What better way than to throw a grand party for New York’s social elite? 
     
     
     
    After painstaking planning, the night of the event arrives and all is perfection—until Millie wakes to a cold, eerily quiet house, and a gray cloud where her memory should be. Can it be true that she has been in and out of consciousness for weeks, ever since the party took a terrifying turn? Millie recalls nothing. But her friends have shunned her, and it soon becomes clear that if she can't find out what really happened that night, much more than her reputation will be at risk . . . 
     
     
     
    As the house that promised so much happiness begins to feel more like a prison, Millie wonders whether a woman alone, even a wealthy one, can ever be entirely safe. And if she succeeds in finding the truth, will it bring relief, or shake her marriage, and her life, to the core?
