Messieurs Ma, père et fils is a deliciously funny and moving comedy-of-manners about a Chinese father and son's experiences at the height of London's Jazz Age. Newly arrived from China, Mr. Ma and his son Ma Wei run an antiques shop near St. Paul's Cathedral, struggling with money, misunderstandings, and the complexities of English society. Both a poignant story of the Chinese immigrant experience and a biting satire, the novel delicately portrays the dreams and disappointments of those seeking a new life in a distant land.
