Timothy Mo je anglicko-čínsky prozaik, ktorého dielo sa vyznačuje prepojením britského a čínskeho kultúrneho dedičstva. Jeho písanie často skúma témy identity a spolupatričnosti, odrážajúc jeho vlastné skúsenosti s multikultúrnym pozadím. Mo sa zameriava na detailné vykreslenie postáv a bohatý jazyk, čím čitateľom prináša hlboký vhľad do zložitosti ľudských vzťahov a spoločenských zmien. Jeho literárny štýl je cenený pre svoju nuansovanosť a schopnosť zachytiť jemné rozdiely medzi kultúrami.

At the centre of 1960s London the busy Chinese community lives by its own precise and violent rules, flourishing like a spiky, brilliant crystal garden in the murky waters of Soho. Pitched into an alien city which is neither hostile nor friendly but very strange and very foreign, the Chen family prospers by deftly and sometimes incongruously blending tradition and opportunity. But no private family lives beyond the reach of the largest and most powerful Chinese ‘family’ - the Triad.
