Each novel by this author is something fundamentally new, it is skillful and mesmerizing prose.
From the 2017 Nobel Prize in Literature Laureate. “When We Were Orphans” is an exquisite novel, which paradoxically combines the traditions of the “black detective” of the 1930s and “cultural prose” of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The most famous detective and intellectual Christopher Banks has dreamed of discovering the mystery of the disappearance of his parents since childhood — and at last he has the opportunity to do this by going on the London-Shanghai route in a very turbulent time. However, Christopher’s investigation and his exotic journey gradually turn into a journey from the Present to the Past, from the world of illusions to the world of cruel reality.
