Tales from Victoria Park : Short stories of Indonesian women in Hong Kong (Paperback)

Victoria Park in Hong Kong is the crossroads for thousands of Muslim women who come from Indonesia to find their fortunes – or at least support their families – in the teeming Chinese city. Most come as maids, but some descend into the netherworld of overstayers, illegal street hawkers and “PR” girls. Whoever they are, they all know Dina: a woman who sells telephone cards, changes money, dispenses advice and listens to their tales of exile.
