About the Book
Against a multi-cultural background, Shirley Xia’s “Calla-Annex” unfolds a touching yet sometimes amusing tale about human prejudice and confl icts as well as about human understanding and mutual affection. Although the theme is a recurrent one which can be found in almost all good literary works, the actions of the story are approached by the forgiving author in a passionate and sometimes humorous way. So the reader can gain both enlightenment and fun from this fascinating story.
