The Night Tiger
Historischer Roman von Yangsze Choo
In 1930s colonial Malaya, a dissolute British doctor receives a surprise gift of an eleven-year-old Chinese houseboy. Sent as a bequest from an old friend, young Ren has a mission: to find his dead master’s severed finger and reunite it with his body. Ren has forty-nine days, or else his master’s soul will roam the earth forever. Ji Lin, an apprentice dressmaker, moonlights as a dancehall girl to pay her mother’s debts.
Yangsze Choo lebt in Kalifornien, stammt aber aus Malaysia von chinesischen Eltern und das ist auch der Hintergrund ihrer faszinierenden Romane. „A mesmerizing tale of murder, romance, and superstition….So vividly told, you can practically smell the oleander blossoms outside Acton’s house. This Night Tiger is worth a prowl.“ (USA Today) (2.870 Rezensionen / 4,3 Sterne), 386 Seiten noch günstig?
