Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 'A stunning debut' Woman & Home Winner of Amazons Rising Stars competition Shortlisted for The Commonwealth Writers Prize 2010 Shortlisted for The Waterstones Book Circle Award Shortlisted for The Desmond Elliott Prize Japanese occupied Hong Kong, 1942. Raped then murdered, Lin Shuis Hungry Ghost clings tenaciously to life. Holing up in a hospital morgue, destined to become a school, just in time she finds a host off whom to feed. It is 12-year-old Alice Safford, the deeply-troubled daughter of a leading figure in government. The parasitic ghost follows her to her home on the Peak. There, the lethal mix of the two, embroiled in the familys web of dark secrets and desperate lies, unleashes chaos. All this unfolds against a background of colonial unrest, riots, extremes of weather and the countdown to the return of the colony to China. As successive tragedies engulf Alice, her ghostly entourage swells alarmingly. She flees to England, then France, in a bid to escape the past, only to find her portable Hungry Ghosts have accompanied her. It seems the peace she longs for is to prove far more elusive that she could ever have imagined. The Hungy Ghosts is a remarkable tour-de-force of the imagination, full of instantly memorable characters whose lives intermesh and boil over in a cauldron of domestic mayhem, unleashing unworldly spirits into the troubled air. As heart-rending as it is innovative, The Hungry Ghosts heralds Berry as an original new voice in fiction Time Out This is a novel as breezy as the best summer reads, yet secrets and deadly jealousy seethe at its coreengrossing Daily Mail A stunning debutEpic in scope and voiceso skilfully crafted, and the writing so elegant, its hard to believe it is a first novel Globe and Mail '[A] brilliant, brittle portrayal of colonial Hong Kong Psychologies 'The vivid, sensory depictions of Hong Kong circa 1970 ignite this almost unrelentingly sad story, and Berrys easy way of switching between different narrative voices from chapter to chapter is impressive' List. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Alice Safford, troubled daughter of a leading figure in Hong Kong's colonial government, explores the site of an old army hospital. The 'Hungry Ghost' of a young Chinese girl, murdered during the island's Japanese occupation twenty-five years earlier, awaits her in the morgue's shadows. The perfect host for the parasite, Alice returns with the ghost to the family's luxury home on The Peak. Here, the lethal mix of the two, entangled in the Safford family's web of dark secrets and desperate lies, unleashes chaos. Against a background of political unrest and the countdown of the return of Hong Kong to China, successive tragedies blight Alice's life and her ghostly entourage swells alarmingly. She flees to England, then France, in a bid to escape the past, only to find her portable 'Hungry Ghosts' have accompanied her. It seems the peace she longs for is to prove far more elusive that she could ever have imagined. With its dazzling array of characters, human and spectral, and the numerous twists and turns in their fortunes, The Hungry Ghosts is a rich feast for the imagination, marking the debut of a storyteller of the very highest order.
