THE FOX WIFE - YANGSZE CHOO KARTONIERT (TB)

'Vivid  enigmatic  enchanting' M. L. Rio 'Irresistible' Sunday Times Some 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. 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 THE FOX WIFE 'Poetic and evocative' Good Housekeeping 'Magical  wondrous
