Publisher's summary

England in den Dreißigerjahren: Ganz London schwärmt von Christopher Banks und seinen Erfolgen. Es gibt nur einen Fall, den der Meisterdetektiv bisher nicht aufklären konnte: Das mysteriöse Verschwinden seiner Eltern in Shanghai, der Stadt seiner Kindheit. Beide waren in den Opiumhandel verstrickt: der Vater als Profiteur, die Mutter als erklärte Gegnerin. Als die Erinnerungen an die Zeit, als er Waise wurde, Banks immer häufiger quälen, beschließt er, sich auf den Weg nach Shanghai zu machen, um endlich das größte Rätsel seines Lebens zu lösen.

okay

Ishiguro beeing one of my favourites....I would say this one is just okay, not great.
The book has an interesting beginning, raising expectations...which unfortunately are never met.
i would say the first 1/3, setting the stage, is quite interesting...and then has a more or less an interesting end....but in the middle...the majority of the book...I was simply quite bored, Maybe is a sort of memoire...and there just wasn't anything more to be told. I gave it a 3. The narrator is great.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
