## Description

A story of music, fandom and identity, from the acclaimed singer-songwriter Emma-Lee Moss (a. k. a. Emmy the Great) For 11-year-old Emma-Lee, the sound of Hong Kong in the summer of 1995 is Cantopop. The Cantopop stars she idolises are everywhere - their images are on every billboard and their music spills from shop speakers onto the streets. When she and her family move to England later that year, Emma-Lee’s love of Cantopop will be pushed underground – the sound and symbol of her secret childhood identity. My Cantopop Nights is the story of how Emma-Lee found herself in a Hong Kong bar twenty years later, listening to a Cantopop song and realising that this music was her inheritance. It’s about suffering an identity crisis just as the city’s post-colonial tensions erupt into protests. It’s a story of uncanny coincidences, magical thinking and a quest to reconcile the different sides of her heritage: Hong Konger and British, Cantopop and indie. It’s a story of falling in love with a city, its people and its music, while trying to find your own place to belong. ' Captures that era of Hong Kong music with such warmth and clarity... Transcendent and transportive' Angela Hui ‘A wondrous thing: fresh, evocative, self-aware, fantastically light of touch and wholly original’ Sarah Howe ‘An author of exceptional vision... for anyone seeking to understand how complicated, tender histories unfurl in our present – and how art emerges to help us through’ Jessica J. Lee 'Prepare to meet your new favourite playlist' Dan Schreiber © Emma-Lee Moss 2026 (P) Penguin Audio 2026
