    "Hey Jindy, when you finish that China business, you come back here, ay" said Jimmy Sugarbag. Jindy Kelly arrives in the plague port of Hong Kong in 1894 She is looking for the enigmatic Johnny Fong, who may know the whereabouts of her mother. Her quest propels her from the heart of the British colonial establishment to the festering animosity of the Chinese slums. She discovers that Johnny is now a revolutionary outlaw, her mother is not what she seemed, and the answers to the mystery are back home in the socialist paradise of Kerosene Creek.

      "Hey Jindy, I hear you got that forgetting business," said Jimmy Sugarbag. The entire population of Kerosene Creek village disappeared overnight and Jindy Kelly can't remember a thing about it.  Sister Thomas calls it "hysterical amnesia". They take her back to the ghost town where she confronts the traumas that wiped her memory: the insanity of the Irish commune leader, the betrayal by her oldest friend, the disappearance of the Chinese boy she loved, and her Ngunnawal mother, condemned to hang for witchcraft and murder.

    Ian E Hart

    I have worked with words, ideas, images and stories all my life: as an academic in Australia, Europe and China, as writer-director of over 30 broadcast documentary and fiction films., as a playwright and theatre maker. Now, after 60 years of grafting at typewriter and computer keyboards, I have narrowed my focus to the gentle art of novel writing. I live with my first and only wife in Canberra, Australia. We have three grown-up children and four grandchildren. We try to re-visit Kong Kong as often as we can.
