Manuel Leguineche portrays the last great British colony on the eve of its handover to Popular China in 1997. With a chronicler's eye, he traverses the «fragrant harbour», its contrasts of wealth and poverty, high technology and smuggling, and asks what will become of its freedoms under the new power.
