Rezensionen

I received this book as part of goodreads giveaway.

It is not an easy read but if you stick with it, it offers some great insight into the chinese culture, its politics dressed in a crime thriller, packed with action.

Tellement complexe qu'il faut simplement se laisser porter par l'ambiance, prendre des repères et laisser flotter... le long du fleuve silencieux...

Chinese/French spies in 1930s China. Atmospheric. Mistresses. Blackmail. Assassination. I wanted to like it, I really did. But I found the translation very jumpy, the storyline confusing and hard to keep up with. Shifts of perspective occur without warning, seemingly mid-paragraph. Not sure if that is the author's style, or oddities of translations, but I really had a hard time finishing this.

Try Bartle Bull's Shanghai Station for a much more accessible, similar, tale.
