{"product_id":"three-wishes-in-bardo-chi-shun-feng-9789888491490","title":"Three Wishes in Bardo","description":"THREE WISHES IN BARDO draws an intimate picture of twentieth century Hong Kong while telling the story of a typical Hong Kong bright boy and his devoted mother. It is also a story of scientific labour and discovery, where single-mindedness, integrity, talent and skill rise from the mire of academic sharp-practice and envy. Different strands of the plot weave together to form a climactic ending where all characters' lives resolve into fulfilment with a touch of humour and true catharsis created from genuine surprise.\"This exploration of a Eurasian boy's early life in Hong Kong, and his later troubled career as a neuroscientist in America, contains elements of realism and detective mystery along with Buddhist fable and modern fairy tale-an unconventional mixture that makes for a diverting read. And, in spite of moments of sadness and darkness, it is a story ultimately suffused with good karma.\"-David Diskin, Proverse Prize winner 2011, author of The Village in the Mountains.\"Expect the unexpected. Expect...Karmic Fiction! ... expect details, grand narrative sweeps, and a menagerie of varied characters!\"-Lawrence Gray, Proverse Prize winner 2015, author of Adam's Franchise, Cop Show Heaven, and Odds and Sods.\"An emotional, entertaining and educational tale very well written. Strongly recommended.\"-Dr Paul Murray\"Three Wishes in Bardo is a simple, clever story that will appeal particularly to those who remember post-war English Hong Kong.\"-Bill Purves\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chi-Shun Feng\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9888491490\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789888491490\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Proverse Hong Kong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/12\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.48d","brand":"Chi-Shun Feng","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47305577955583,"sku":"9789888491490","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d793bacb-be3d-4077-9f35-8d2997f4ef40.jpg?v=1758831271","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/three-wishes-in-bardo-chi-shun-feng-9789888491490","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
