| Dear Friends, I just finished reading this book, a thriller written by a talented Swedish Author whom I just discovered. The story started by a serial murder of a small village where all members who are linked by bloodline are all murderer. The killer was sent from China to settle a vendetta of over 170 years, which started in the Nevada railway construction by Chinese "guest-workers" who were ill-treated by their Swedist supervisor. The story is interesting as it brings us to modern China and the Chinese contemporary behind-the-scene political struggle between 2 factions which is quite near up-to-date. For somebody who needs a light reading on Asian-related story, it would be a good read. Highly recommended. Review in French: | ||
Ce roman en contient au moins deux. Le plus intéressant concerne l’histoire de l’ancêtre chinois (à l’âge de jeune homme) et de ses frères fuyant une misère et une servitude totales qui perdurent depuis des siècles dans leur pays . Ils ne s’échappent que pour être finalement enlevés et servir à nouveau comme esclaves dans la construction d’une voie de chemin de fer à travers les Etats-Unis. Cette histoire va faire l’objet d’une vengeance un siècle plus tard dans une intrigue en Suède , et surtout de manière plus intéressante à Pékin.
