   Day 13:

   Today, I'm recommending another book by #JamesClavel, #TaiPan.
   It is the second book in #Clavel's fantastic #AsianSaga.

   It describes the rivalry of two English merchant families + their rise 2 power against the well-researched background of the #OpiumWars + #Hongkong's early colonial history.
   It 1st got me interested in 🇨🇳.
