There’s a will-they-won’t-they love story to tug at the heartstrings of every romantic. There’s a central mystery-will Ren find that missing finger?-to satisfy puzzle-solving readers. This is a book that has something for everyone.
They also happen to be complete strangers who are somehow linked by a mysterious force-one that connects them with others (both dead and alive) who might just cause them harm. The book follows two main characters: Ji Lin, a dressmaker by day and dancehall girl by night who dreams of becoming a doctor (if only her stepfather would let her) and Ren, a kindhearted houseboy so loyal to his late master that he’ll stop at nothing to reunite the man’s missing finger with his body. It’s called The Night Tiger, and it’s epic and pleasing in every possible way. If someone told me there’s a book out there that’s part history, part love story, part coming-of-age, part magical tale that is also a well-paced book that clocks in at under 400 pages, I’d be instantly suspicious.
