Sommario/riassunto

The Happy Hsiungs recovers the histories of two married Chinese writers who lived and worked in Britain from the 1930's onwards. Shih-I Hsiung shot to worldwide fame with his play "Lady Precious Stream," while Dymia Hsiung was the first Chinese woman to publish a fictional autobiography in English of her life in Britain.
