'Alive with little-known insights into a now mostly vanished world, Being Eurasian has done much to document the stories, and so help return the memory of Hong Kong's Eurasian community to present-day readers. This fascinating account of life in a very different time and place is to be enjoyed for its colour and insight and treasured as a valuable record for the future, particularly as both this unique people, and the historical circumstances that created them, are inexorably vanishing into the past.' – Jason Wordie, Hong Kong-based historian and journalist
'In this original study of Hong Kong Eurasian women memoirs, Lee looks at how, collectively, these women's stories cross two world empires, and a social and political matrix that occupied the entire energetic twentieth century. Alert to race, gender, and national issues, Lee views Eurasian identity in Hong Kong as a marginal, situational, unfixed construction in which family and social conditioning play out with contingent circumstances and subjective choices to produce remarkable female lives. A valuable contribution to overlooked yet intriguing personal histories.' – Shirley Geok-lin Lim, Professor of English, University of California, Santa Barbara
