General Note
"Titulo original: The night tiger"--Title page verso.
Description
"Sensual, exótica y misteriosa. Una novela como nunca has leído. Malasia, 1931. Ji Lin es una joven inquieta e independiente que trabaja como aprendiz de modista para ayudarle a su madre a pagar las deudas. Sin embargo, cuando anochece se interna por calles oscuras hasta llegar al salón de baile Flor de Mayo, donde enseña los ritmos de moda a estudiantes, oficinistas y a cualquiera que le pague unas monedas. Una noche, el descubrimiento de un macabro objeto en el traje de uno de sus clientes la sumerge en una oscura aventura llena de rumores acerca de un hombre tigre, un ser maligno de la mitología local, responsable de las inexplicables muertes que han ocurrido en la zona. Con la ayuda de Ren, un niño de once años que habita su propio mundo de secretos y supersticiones, y de Shin, su atractivo hermanastro, Ji deberá resolver el misterio antes de convertirse en la próxima víctima. En El tigre nocturno Yangsze Choo revela un universo fascinante, la historia de una mujer valiente que busca su lugar en un mundo que preferiría mantenerla invisible y, al mismo tiempo, un thriller donde el romance y los misterios sobrenaturales se mezclan a la perfección." --,(Source of summary not specified)
Description
"Quick-witted, ambitious Ji Lin is stuck as an apprentice dressmaker, moonlighting as a dancehall girl to help pay off her mother's Mahjong debts. But when one of her dance partners accidentally leaves behind a gruesome souvenir, Ji Lin may finally get the adventure she has been longing for. Eleven-year-old houseboy Ren is also on a mission, racing to fulfill his former master's dying wish: that Ren find the man's finger, lost years ago in an accident, and bury it with his body. Ren has 49 days to do so, or his master's soul will wander the earth forever. As the days tick relentlessly by, a series of unexplained deaths racks the district, along with whispers of men who turn into tigers. Ji Lin and Ren's increasingly dangerous paths crisscross through lush plantations, hospital storage rooms, and ghostly dreamscapes. Yangsze Choo's The Night Tiger pulls us into a world of servants and masters, age-old superstition and modern idealism, sibling rivalry and forbidden love. But anchoring this dazzling, propulsive novel is the intimate coming-of-age of a child and a young woman, each searching for their place in a society that would rather they stay invisible." --,(Source of summary not specified)
