an
"elegant
and
haunting
novel
of
war,
art
and
memory"
(The
Independent)
from
the
critically
acclaimed
author
ofThe
Gift
of
Rain.
Malaya,
1951.
Yun
Ling
Teoh,
the
scarred
lone
survivor
of
a
brutal
Japanese
wartime
camp,
seeks
solace
among
the
jungle-fringed
tea
plantations
of
Cameron
Highlands.
There
she
discovers
Yugiri,
the
only
Japanese
garden
in
Malaya,
and
its
owner
and
creator,
the
enigmatic
Aritomo,
exiled
former
gardener
of
the
emperor
of
Japan.
Despite
her
hatred
of
the
Japanese,
Yun
Ling
seeks
to
engage
Aritomo
to
create
a
garden
in
memory
of
her
sister,
who
died
in
the
camp.
Aritomo
refuses
but
agrees
to
accept
Yun
Ling
as
his
apprentice
"until
the
monsoon
comes."
Then
she
can
design
a
garden
for
herself.
As
the
months
pass,
Yun
Ling
finds
herself
intimately
drawn
to
the
gardener
and
his
art,
while
all
around
them
a
communist
guerilla
war
rages.
But
theGarden
of
Evening
Mistsremains
a
place
of
mystery.
Who
is
Aritomo
and
how
did
he
come
to
leave
Japan?
And
is
the
real
story
of
how
Yun
Ling
managed
to
survive
the
war
perhaps
the
darkest
secret
of
all?| Toate formatele și edițiile | Preț | Express |

Recenzii
The
Independent
“The Garden of Evening Mistsoffers action-packed, end-of-empire storytelling in the vein of Tan’s compatriot Tash Aw. His fictional garden cultivates formal harmony –but also undermines it. It unmasks sophisticated artistry as a partner of pain and lies. This duality invests the novel with a climate of doubt; a mood – as with Aritomo’s creation – of “tension and possibility”. Its beauty never comes to rest.”

“A rising star from Malaysia . . . Tan writes with breath-catching poise and grace. [The Garden of Evening Mistsis a novel of] linguistic refinement and searching intelligence. . . . But for all its mission to ‘capture stillness on paper’. . .The Garden of Evening Mistsalso offers action-packed, end-of-empire storytelling.”

Review
“[A]
strong
quiet
novel
[of]
eloquent
mystery.”Booklist
“The unexpected relationship between a war-scarred woman and an exiled gardener leads to a journey through remorse to a kind of peace. After a notable debut, Eng (The Gift of Rain, 2008) returns to the landscape of his origins with a poetic, compassionate, sorrowful novel set in the aftermath of World War II in Malaya…Grace and empathy infuse this melancholy landscape of complex loyalties enfolded by brutal history, creating a novel of peculiar, mysterious, tragic beauty.” –Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW
“As
intricately
designed
as
a
Japanese
garden,
this
deceptively
quiet
novel
resonates
with
the
power
to
inspire
a
variety
of
passionate
emotions…A
haunting
novel
certain
to
stay
with
the
reader
long
after
the
book
is
closed.”

REVIEW
“Like his debut,The Gift of Rain(2007), Tan’s second novel is exquisite…Tan triumphs again, entwining the redemptive power of storytelling with the elusive search for truth, all the while juxtaposing Japan’s inhumane war history with glorious moments of Japanese art and philosophy. All readers in search of spectacular writing will not be disappointed.”
