a pervasive metaphorical mood of foxes and snow

Subtle feeling mystery unraveling in a slight and mythical magic of historical China setting that meditates on friendship, vengeance, and moral obligation. Quite wonderful.

Ruthlessly Attention-Grabbing

The Fox Wife is a fairly slow-paced book until right at the end. The edges of mystery and vastly different perspectives of the two main characters keep the story fresh and interesting. It's a very good read whether you're in it for the murder mystery aspect or the talented storytelling that goes into the book's minutiae. I loved it for both.
