few weeks ago I commented that ape t read something ECIA of novels, recently had a little left that genre. Well, I finally decided on something a little "different" in this genre.
Death of a red heroine is the first novel in the series which features the Chief of Police Chen Cao, created by novelist Qiu Xiaolong, a native of Shanghai, but currently residing in the U.S.. In this Man, life chances, we caught the mess of the Tiananmen Square while on a visit in the U.S. for work (a book on TS Eliot was writing) and after slaughter, the party revolutionary communist accused of, so could not return to China and settled permanently in Missouri. While
work m to have enough pull and keep us more or less in suspense throughout its development, which I found most interesting about this book is its setting.
The novel takes place in Shanghai in 1990, only had elapsed d or one year after the Tiananmen massacre and China was in the process of reforms initiated by President Deng Xiaoping, who will make the current system in the living communism and capitalism (this increasingly Finally, less of the former, but good). It is curious to read how they work in a police station in Shanghai, about the lives of families of policemen, their relationships with party officials.
older characters s also report or s experiences during the era of "Great Leap Forward", the "Cultural Revolution" period in which the party sent young educated in the big cities to rural areas that they might be re-educated by peasants.
In short, very interesting cultural background d China and society of the 90 that shows, and quite enjoyable as a thriller.
If you are going to page the "million uploads" and you keep up the black tiles (one per paragraph), and finalizais with "the answer to the meaning of life, the universe and everything Other ¨, you can find a revised and corrected version of the book.
