A Chinese Folklore tale, told using such dreamy words!
My second by this author ( I loved The Night Tiger). I really enjoy her writing style. I'm not a big fan of the fantasy genre, but in her hands it was a success. The ghostly, creepy and strange worlds she wrote about created the most atmospheric journey. I found myself captivated and wanting to keep listening to one more chapter.
The four parts include Malaya in 1893, Afterworld, The Plains of the Dead, and Malacca
A marriage trying to be arranged between a dead person and a living person so a spirit might be placated. There is also plenty of suspense, shrieking, ghosts (and hungry ghosts)!, shadowy forms, demons, fairies and ox-headed creatures, YIKES!
I listened mostly, read a bit too. Narration was by the author and was amazing! Around 12 hours long.
I recommend, but ONLY if you enjoy fantasy, imaginative world-building, supernatural and a tad of romance.
