The setting is Tonkin (northern Vietnam) at the turn of the 20th
century. A boy, Tai, witnesses the beheading of his father, a
notorious bandit, and sets out to recover his head and then to find
the man who betrayed his father to the authorities. On this quest,
Tai's entire world will shift. FLESH takes the reader into dark and
delightful places in the human condition, places where allies are
not always your friends, true love hurts, and your worst enemy may
bring you the most comfort. In that emotionally harrowing world,
Tai must learn to deal with new responsibilities in his life while
at the same time acknowledge his bond, and his resemblance, to a
man he barely knew-his father. Through this story of revenge is
woven a another story, one of love, but love purchased with the
blood of murders Tai commits. A coming-of-age story, but also a
love story, the sensuality of the author's writing style belies the
sometimes brutal world he depicts.
