Beijing is a city of opportunity and danger
when cancer specialist Wally Frith arrives there from Sydney.
Chance encounters have life-changing consequences. As the doctor’s
journey spirals back into his own family story, memories and ghosts
shadow the seductions of the present. Avenue of Eternal Peace,
a kaleidoscopic novel of healing and hope, was shortlisted for
the Miles Franklin Literary Award and filmed as Children of
the Dragon with Bob Peck and Lily Chen. This is a new, revised
edition.
