The Teardrop Story Woman
To be born female is curse enough. To be born female with an unlucky teardrop mole is surely a mark of the gods' displeasure. Set in Malaya in the turbulent 1950s this powerful story explores love's eternal quest against a dramatic landscape torn apart by terrorist grenades. Beautiful and spirited, Mei Kwei overcomes the misfortunes of her birth and runs from the men she cannot love into the arms of the man she must not love: the Catholic priest Father Francois Martin's, a missionary sent to Luping, a small town in Malaya. In the face of Mei Kwei's passion, Father Martin's commitment to his vocation cracks, revealing the man beneath the demands of the flesh and spirit come into fearful collision.
