It's about East-West cultural collisions, with hilarious results. It's about Love and Romance. It's about Pan, the God of Pleasure tussling with Confucius, the Sage of Propriety. It's about middle-aged women in crisis. It's about Chinese strategies of seduction. And it's about the Queen Elizabeth 2 which provides the ideal setting for all these to come together in one grand melee. In this picaresque novel, Catherine Lim, with her usual wit, vivacity and exuberance, writes about what happened when she went on a vacation on the famed luxury cruise ship.
