图书描述

A sweeping historical novel about a dancehall girl and an orphan boy whose fates entangle over an old Chinese superstition about men who turn into tigers.

When 11-year-old Ren's master dies, he makes one last request of his Chinese houseboy: that Ren find his severed finger, lost years ago in an accident, and reunite it with his body. Ren has 49 days, or else his master's soul will roam the earth, unable to rest in peace.

Ji Lin always wanted to be a doctor, but as a girl in 1930s Malaysia, apprentice dressmaker is a more suitable occupation. Secretly, though, Ji Lin also moonlights as a dancehall girl to help pay off her beloved mother's Mahjong debts. One night, Ji Lin's dance partner leaves her with a gruesome souvenir: a severed finger. Convinced the finger is bad luck, Ji Lin enlists the help of her erstwhile stepbrother to return it to its rightful owner.

As the 49 days tick down, and a prowling tiger wreaks havoc on the town, Ji Lin and Ren's lives intertwine in ways they could never have imagined. Propulsive and lushly written, The Night Tiger explores colonialism and independence, ancient superstition and modern ambition, sibling rivalry and first love. Braided through with Chinese folklore and a tantalizing mystery, this novel is a page-turner of the highest order.

设定非常有趣。一个中国裔马来西亚三代(?)移民女性在英国殖民时期的故事。魔幻现实主义但是批判并不深入,主要还是讲了一个伪兄妹乱伦爱情故事。

太特别了,从未听过把中国迷信、悬疑、谋杀和禁忌之恋写在一起的故事

很无聊的小说,有声书作者的英式口音倒是挺不错的。

看完之后,我觉得此书作者就是在故弄玄虚,开头吸引人。然而由于对于中国文化的不理解,基本上跟理智仁义信没啥关系,真的就是用中国元素作了本书的一个嚼头。可恶,赔我十块买audible的钱和大晚上听书神经衰弱的损失费!!
