Limehouse Nights


Author: Thomas Burke

"Memory is a delicate instrument. Like an old musical box, it will lie silent for long years; then a mere nothing, a jerk, a tremor, will start the spring, and from beneath its decent covering of dust it will talk to us of forgotten passion and desire." – from "Gina of the Chinatown"

The first story in the collection, "The Chink and the Child," was the basis for D. W. Griffith's film "Broken Blossoms."

PLEASE NOTE: The stories in this collection contain racial epithets which are considered inappropriate by today's standards, and may be offensive to some readers.
