I have finally managed to get to my blog and say what a great World Book Night this was
This was the book I gave to readers and non readers
So what did I think:-
This novel is situated around the area between Hong Kong and mainland China, with the home of its protagonist, Paul Leibovitz, set on the tiny island of Lamma to the south of Hong Kong. Paul lives a simple life on his own. he has means and virtually leaves the island when he needs essentials. His story is of loss.
Three years ago Paul and his ex-wife Meredith lost their eight-year-old son Justin to cancer. the marriage collapsed.
On a visit to Hong Kong, he is approached by an American woman- Elizabeth who asks for his help in finding her son who has disappeared.
Thus begins a dark mystery in China, there is corruptness, and romance as well as this being a crime novel. The characters are a mix of differing cultures.
The recent history of China is told well by author.
A really good read I will be looking out for this author.
