I read this and Sayonara Bar to give me some background on Barker for a review of The Incarnations. This felt like a huge jump from her first book - much more introspective, much deeper. Malaysia before and after Independence, profoundly bad parenting and a myriad examlpes of human cruelty - it is not an easy book, but a very interesting one. I am going to keep my eye on Barker - she's good! ( ) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
Malaya 1951, a jungle resettlement camp: young colonial adventurer Christopher Milnar falls passionately in love with a Chinese nurse Evangeline - a fierce flame that ends in tragedy when their camp is attacked by Communist guerrillas and Christopher is violently beaten up. London: half a century later the ghosts of that time return to haunt Christopher, triggering vivid memories of colonial misconduct and lost love. Forced to confront his past, Christopher agonises over the fate of his beloved Evangeline and the disappearance of their daughter, Frances. Moving from present day London to the heart of the Malayan jungle in colonial times, THE ORIENTALIST AND THE GHOST is a stunning portrayal of human frailty and lost love.
