Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. An intriguing book, set in a post-apocalyptic Asia. It was first published in 1984, and it feels like it must have been ahead of its time, with its refreshingly non-Western cast of characters, and explorations of the spectrum of sexuality. It's as complex and challenging as anything Jones has written (I know that I read its sequel many years ago, but I can't remember anything about it that relates to this first book), but at the same time is one of her more reader-friendly books. Plus, of course, one of the narrators is a cat (bonus points for that!). ( ) What a strange sad book. I didn't really understand why Cho and Wo were bringing the end of the world... Although the Nirvana mention was a tip... I suppose that means the Rulers were human too? Still, there must have been more to it than that.I wonder, what made the angel dolls? I suppose it didn't survive them. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

The Cat - intelligent, elegant and heartless - and her loving companion Cho together go in search of the race who had left them alone. Cho believes she would be able to put an end to the world's problems. Divine Endurance had promised her that. And it is true: Cho has the power to grant every wish of the human heart. In the Peninsula, Cho and Divine Endurance discover a land of intricate beauty, but it is also a land riddled with corruption, where a desperate struggle is in progress between the people and the indifferent power of their Rulers. Everywhere death creeps in like the tide. And sometimes every wish of the human heart doesn't always work out . . . No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
