It is 2010 and American Grant Decker is living his dream of being a photographer in Cornwall. He’s got a chance to go to China, courtesy of Charon, his ex-girlfriend.

What she hasn’t told him is that the trip, with a group of American teachers, includes a risky plan that could bring the wrath of the Chinese government upon him. He slips and slides through a packed itinerary encountering places and people that surprise him – people like Guy Anderson, Dr Sòng, the Mosuo people and the Chinese barber/musicians in Dali who will remain in his memory forever.

Despite restrictions, he manages to take some of the best pictures of his life and make his escape with a bit of help from a witchy connection in St Ives. With the same highly readable prose as the first book,

A Cornish Odyssey, join Grant in a new round of engaging and funny adventures.
