Hardcover published by Jonathan Cape, ninth impression 1955. The jacket is whole, with a few minor chips and tears to the edges, and is sunned in places. The boards are clean and square, as are all the pages. "A many Spelndoured Thing is a remarkable product of the fusion of East and West. Han Suyin, the author, is a Eurasion with a Western medical training and Chinese instinct and sympathies. In the cosmopolitan surroundings of Hongkong she meets and falls in love with Mark Elliott, the correspondent of a British newspaper. The book is a singularily frank memorial for their love, for Mark is killed in Korea. The happiness it diffuses is a measure of their courage and faith, for both know from the first that everything is against them... a happy book it is with many shrewd, unmalicious portraits from among the various circles in refugee-crowded Hongkong and a changing China where old traditions are dying out."
