Ce que dit l'éditeurSuzy Wong and the Spirits Born in Hong Kong on the fifteenth day of the fourth lunar month in the year of the Tiger, Suzy might be an incarnation of Chang'e, the Moon Goddess. Ail she knows for sure is that since her birth, she has been protected by three age-old invisible and mischievous spirits : Godmother Qing Yi, leamed Godfather Wen Chou and rough Uncle Jia Zi. As a child Suzy was spoiled rotten by everybody at the brothel managed by her grandmother Wong Su Xi, who had once been famous under the name of Suzie Wong. Our Suzy had a blissful childhood until a mysterious fire killed her mother and destroyed the floating brothel. Sent away to a boarding school, Suzy found she had a gift for feng shui. After graduating summa cum laude, she decided to reconcile with her six uncles and aunts. It would not be easy ; they were scattered all over the globe, and each of them involved in either a sleazy business, a dark occult science, or both. But what really happened that fateful night ? What drove the Wong family into exile ? Will Suzy dare to return to her roots in Hong Kong, in the Aberdeen harbour, where Grandma Su Xi, abandoned by her family and only a shadow of her former self, is waiting ? |
RésuméSuzy Wong, spécialiste du feng-shui, quitte New York pour assister à l'anniversaire de sa grand-mère à Hong Kong, ville dans laquelle elle n'est plus retournée depuis l'incendie qui a coûté la vie de sa mère, il y a dix ans. ©Electre 2024 |
