From fantasticfiction.co.uk:
The stunning new historical epic blockbuster from the author of THE PALACE OF HEAVENLY PLEASURE. Beautiful, headstrong and unconventional, Catherine Cabot is twenty years old when she arrives in China. Against an uneasy political background a bittersweet, triangular love affair develops between Catherine and Edmund and George Airton. And all the while, she is trying to uncover the truth of her past, unaware of the danger this might pose to her. Who is Henry Manners, the mysterious man who once wrote to her mother, and who she knows now lives in China? Returning to China alongside Catherine is Yu-Fu-kuei, a Chinese revolutionary working as a Communist spy. She and Catherine met when they were at Oxford immediately after the Great War, and the friendship is deep and permanent. As the Japanese mass themselves on the borders, waiting for an excuse to invade, Catherine, ignorant of a history steeped in hatred, unwittingly becomes the perfect tool to settle the scores of two men who will stop at nothing to wreak their revenge. And Yu-Fu-kuei discovers that love might be the strongest weapon that any warrior has.

評分前些日子,知名女作家虹影在微博上首次曝光其丈夫身份,还特别贴出《乾隆的骨头》一书书封,称作者“是我女儿的父亲”,以此为这本书做推介。以虹影的知名度和影响力,被她抛出来的这块“骨头”当然比各大媒体网站的新书推介更有吸引力,一时间引来不少人好奇围观也就不...
