Krátky popis
'Vivid, enigmatic, enchanting' M. L. Rio, author of If We Were
Villains'Filled with wonder, mystery and folklore' Sue Lynn Tan,
author of Daughter of the Moon GoddessSome people think foxes go
around collecting qi, or life force, but nothing could be further
than the truth.We are living creatures, just like you, only usually
better looking . . .Manchuria, 1908: A young woman is found frozen
in the snow.Her death is clouded by rumours of foxes, believed to
lure people into peril by transforming into beautiful women and
men. Bao, a detective with a reputation for sniffing out the truth,
is hired to uncover the dead woman's identity. Since childhood, Bao
has been intrigued by the fox gods, yet they've remained
tantalizingly out of reach.Until, perhaps, now.Snow is a creature
of many secrets, but most of all, she's a mother seeking vengeance.
Hunting a murderer, the trail will take her from northern China to
Japan, with Bao following doggedly behind. And as their paths draw
ever closer together, both Snow and Bao will encounter old friends
and new foes, even as more deaths occur.Epic in scope and full of
singular, unforgettable characters, The Fox Wife is a stunning
novel about old loves and second chances, the depth of maternal
bonds, and ancient folktales that may very well be true.PRAISE FOR
