Praise for Diamond Hill:

“I enjoyed Diamond Hill very much. It’s fantastically evocative of a time and place, full of vivid images but never at the expense of story. A hugely impressive first novel.”—DAVID NICHOLLS, bestselling author of One Day and Us 

“Kit Fan plunges us face-first into the pungently sordid world of Diamond Hill in his debut novel … Fan is an exuberant chronicler of a lost time and place, delightedly preserving Cantonese slang and profanities … It’s a timely consideration of Hong Kong’s recent past” ―The Times

“Shifting between the austerity of the convent and the squalor of the shantytown, Mr. Fan creates a textured, unsettled portrait of a territory facing a decisive ending … The dark drama that unfolds is an elegy to that vanished vanishing world.” —Wall Street Journal

“Fan’s evocative debut portrays a Hong Kong in transition … Fan brings poetic language and moving tributes to descriptions of the lost neighborhood … The novel’s aching beauty makes an effective argument for remembering.” —Publishers Weekly

‘’Fan deftly mixes the sacred with the profane, often on the same page. Just when you decide there’s no room for holiness amid the wreckage, you realize there may in fact be no other option.’’ —Kirkus Reviews

“All the more impressive when considering that Diamond Hill is author Kit Fan's literary debut as a novelist. This compelling, deftly crafted, and inherently entertaining story of powerlessness, religion, memory, displacement, and the demise of a city is especially and unreservedly recommended.” —Midwest Book Review

“This gripping debut portrays the territory in flux, witnessed by the colourful denizens of a crumbling neighbourhood … The language veers from the sacred to the profane, and it is a dizzyingly kinetic and occasionally humorous read, with a zippy plot that adroitly balances both the satirical and schmaltzy undertones.” —The Guardian
