Told through a little girl’s keen and often amused observation, An Inch of Time gives a truthful, pleasant picture of daily life in Hong Kong in the post-war years. It is a first-hand account of the kind of home and school education received by many local Hong Kong children decades ago with reminiscences about aspects of life-style, customs and traditions—both eastern and western—which average Hongkongers lived by in the 1940s and ‘50s. This memoir is set in a specific locality, the Happy Valley district of Hong Kong Island, home for over a century to the famous Jockey Club race-course.
