House of Daughters - Paperback

Emanuel Belilios, a wealthy Jewish opium oligarch, suddenly leaves Hong Kong, and his junior-wife, Pearl Li blames Semah, the senior-wife. Pearl kicks Semah out of the mansion where the polyamorous trio had lived, and she shuns everyone including her daughter Leah Felicie. But when death strikes Emanuel and Semah and her father in rapid succession, Pearl suspects that the Chinese curse against opium smugglers has returned. She must act swiftly to assuage the hex. But the Fates are wily, and she's running out of time... Inspired by the author's own family, House of Daughters is a stand-alone sequel to the Globe and Mail best-seller, House of Wives.
