Some people think foxes go around collecting qi, or life force, but
nothing could be further than the truth. We are living creatures,
just like you, only usually better looking . . . Manchuria, 1908: A
young woman is found frozen in the snow. Her death is clouded by
rumours of foxes, believed to lure people into peril by
transforming into beautiful women and men. Bao, a detective with a
reputation for sniffing out the truth, is hired to uncover the dead
woman's identity. Since childhood, Bao has been intrigued by the
fox gods, yet they've remained tantalizingly out of reach. Until,
perhaps, now. Meanwhile, the family of a famous Chinese medicine
shop can cure all ailments - except the curse that afflicts them.
All their eldest sons die before their twenty-fourth birthdays. Now
the only grandson of the family is twenty-three. When a mysterious
woman enters their household, their luck seems to change. But is
their new servant a simple young woman from the north, or a fox
spirit bent on her own revenge? New York Times bestselling author
Yangsze Choo brilliantly explores a world of mortals and spirits,
humans and beasts, and their dazzling intersection. The Fox Wife is
a stunning novel about dead bodies found in the snow, a mother
seeking revenge, and old folk tales that may very well be true.
