Fated and Fateless

Bag om Fated and Fateless

The story is set in colonial Hong Kong and spans four decades from the late 1940s. Historic events that took place in that period have provided inspiration for much of the story background and some of the episodes. Wendy and Diana are childhood playmates in the 50s. From their early teens, their fates take divergent paths. They become life-long enemies Wendy trudges through a miserable childhood and youth in a broken home and the only solace in her early life is the friendship of Edward, Diana's kid brother. Stomaching one mischance after another, she promises herself that there's nothing she can't overcome by sheer will. Diana seems to have come to this world just to be pampered by luck, glamour and wealth. Her father, a property tycoon whose wealth began heaping in the pre-anti-corruption days, teaches her that there's nothing money can't buy. No one has stronger faith than she in her glorious destiny. As it turns out, Wendy and Diana are both proven wrong. Before they take their final bow in the story, their paths take life-altering twists and turns......
