From fantasticfiction.co.uk:
The stunning new historical epic blockbuster from the author of THE PALACE OF HEAVENLY PLEASURE. Beautiful, headstrong and unconventional, Catherine Cabot is twenty years old when she arrives in China. Against an uneasy political background a bittersweet, triangular love affair develops between Catherine and Edmund and George Airton. And all the while, she is trying to uncover the truth of her past, unaware of the danger this might pose to her. Who is Henry Manners, the mysterious man who once wrote to her mother, and who she knows now lives in China? Returning to China alongside Catherine is Yu-Fu-kuei, a Chinese revolutionary working as a Communist spy. She and Catherine met when they were at Oxford immediately after the Great War, and the friendship is deep and permanent. As the Japanese mass themselves on the borders, waiting for an excuse to invade, Catherine, ignorant of a history steeped in hatred, unwittingly becomes the perfect tool to settle the scores of two men who will stop at nothing to wreak their revenge. And Yu-Fu-kuei discovers that love might be the strongest weapon that any warrior has.

亚当•威廉姆斯在《乾隆的骨头》一书之中,以红发姑娘为线索,来写20世纪初的中国,呈现给我们的不仅有个体人物的琐碎生活,更蕴含着一种浓烈的历史之美。 或许,一个人的历史不能改变别人的生活,但是通过一个人的历史去感受变化,则是别有一番风味。年轻的红发姑娘凯瑟琳...

評分乾隆的骨头 乐于遗忘的中国人,并不愿意从浩瀚的祖国历史中挖掘创作的素材,这其中出现了许多空档,留给了西方的汉学家和小说家。当他们书写完毕,我们竟也能籍由他们的考据,了解到了当时的纷乱,离奇,并试图总结一些历史的规律。 所以韦蔼德(Adam williams)很...
