Club Book Episode 176 Yangsze Choo
Manage episode 454206355 series 1026316
Yangsze Choo is the author behind some of this decade’s most original historical fantasy. Her work is often inspired by folklore and infused with the paranormal. Such is the case with her 2013 debut, The Ghost Bride. Publishers Weekly praised: “Choo’s clear and charming style creates an alternate reality where the stakes are just as high as in the real world, combining grounded period storytelling with the supernatural.” The Ghost Bride is the basis for Netflix’s acclaimed Taiwanese-Malaysian drama of the same name. Choo’s follow-up, The Night Tiger, is set in 1930s colonial Malaysia. In it, apprentice dressmaker Ji Lin and orphan boy Ren become tangled in a mystery involving weretigers, terrifying beasts who wear the skin of humans. Reese Witherspoon selected The Night Tiger as the April 2019 pick for her popular Reese’s Book Club. Shapeshifters of a different kind loom large in Choo’s latest release, The Fox Wife. In a glowing review, Time recommended the book as “an enchanting tale of murder, revenge, and the power of a mother’s love.”
