| (by- Linda ) |
At the heart of this book are beautiful characters, and a captivating story filled with Chinese mythology, superstition, and culture. The setting is 1930s Malaya and it follows the lives of Ji Lin, a young woman making sacrifices to help pay off her mother's debt and Ren, a young boy trying to find his former master's lost finger, so his master's spirit will not wander for eternity.
It's an alluring love story with a touch of mystery that will take the reader to a world that is equal parts mysticism and reality. This is a book with many layers; some will warm your heart and some will intrigue. Recommend for those that love beautiful prose, magical realism or reading about new cultures.
