Once upon a time, there was a woman the press called the
Hyena-Woman. Infant Annihilator. Witch. Child-Chopper. Butcher of
Little Angels. Monster. The Ogress of Colonia Roma. Julián and I
called her Mother. When the writer Ignacio Suárez is sent photos
of two murdered women, mirroring a passage of his detective novel,
he rushes to uncover who is responsible. What no one suspects is
that the key to solving these crimes lies in the forgotten story of
FelÃcitas Sánchez, the midwife turned child-killer who became
known in the 1940s as 'The Ogress of Colonia Roma'. Diary entries
and newspaper articles come together in this gripping tale to
reveal how FelÃcitas, who grew up in a small community in Mexico,
became the infamous child trafficker and murderer in the country's
capital, and how her crimes are linked to this new wave of murders.
Interweaving two timelines, Verónica Llaca evokes a tale of cursed
bloodlines, forcing us to question the origin and inheritance of
evil and how far we can truly escape our past.
'As hypnotic as an opium dream and pretty unputdownable' Daily Mail
In September 1838 a storm blows up on the Indian Ocean and the
Ibis, a ship carrying a consignment of convicts and indentured
laborers from Calcutta to Mauritius, is caught up in the whirlwind.
When the seas settle, five men have disappeared - two lascars, two
convicts and one of the passengers. Did the same storm upend the
fortunes of those aboard the Anahita, an opium carrier heading
towards Canton? And what fate befell those aboard the Redruth, a
sturdy two-masted brig heading East out of Cornwall? Was it the
storm that altered their course or were the destinies of these
passengers at the mercy of even more powerful forces? On the grand
scale of an historical epic, River of Smoke follows its
storm-tossed characters to the crowded harbors of China. There,
despite efforts of the emperor to stop them, ships from Europe and
India exchange their cargoes of opium for boxes of tea, silk,
porcelain and silver. Among them are Bahram Modi, a wealthy Parsi
opium merchant out of Bombay, his estranged half-Chinese son Ah
Fatt, the orphaned Paulette and a motley collection of others whose
pursuit of romance, riches and a legendary rare flower have thrown
together. All struggle to cope with their losses - and for some,
unimaginable freedoms - in the alleys and crowded waterways of 19th
century Canton. As transporting and mesmerizing as an opiate
induced dream, River of Smoke will soon be heralded as a
masterpiece of twenty-first century literature.
Cyrus Shams is lost.
The orphaned son of Iranian immigrants, Cyrus never knew his mother. Killed when her plane was shot down over the Persian Gulf in a senseless accident, Cyrus has spent his life grappling with the meaningless nature of his mother’s death. Now he is set to learn the truth of her life.
When Cyrus’s obsession with the lives of the martyrs – Bobby Sands, Joan of Arc – leads him to a chance encounter with a dying artist, he finds himself drawn towards the mysteries of his past: an uncle who rode through Iranian battlefields dressed as the Angel of Death; and toward his mother, who may not have been who or what she seemed.
As Cyrus searches for meaning in the scattered clues of his life, a final revelation transforms everything he thought he knew.
Electrifying, funny, wholly original, and profound, Martyr heralds the arrival of a blazing and essential new voice in contemporary fiction.
